Abstract :
This paper presents basic information about new experiment and the wrapped about learning objects for the course on nonlinear control and other relevant subjects from the mechatronics area. It is being developed with the primary aim to motivate students within the framework of the “learning by playing”, “learning by discovering”, or through “experiential learning” approaches. The experiment is dealing with simple but challenging positional-control tasks requiring knowledge of basic physical principals of mechanics, to master associated measurement and communication problems, to carry out embedded control design, and to compare several traditional control methods with the latest development in the relevant control theory.
