Abstract :
This paper describes Quanser´s mobile robot control framework (QMRCF) for an educational robot called Qbot. The QMRCF accelerates the development of mobile robot control algorithms and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing using model-based design techniques of matlab simulink. This paper also validates the performance of QMRCF using several experiments in various research fields of mobile robotics, e.g., teleoperation, navigation, and obstacle avoidance.
