Position control with electromechanical actuators in didactic plants

This document is a compilation of the main results obtained in the research project about control systems for didactic plants. The features and processes for modeling and building a prototype, as well as the comparative implementation of several control methods in simulation and on the real physical system are presented. From the expertise about the use of the control techniques in the two degrees of freedom helicopter model, methodological modules for laboratory practices are proposed, such that control students can reinforce the knowledge obtained in lecture classes.
