Interactive Tools to learn Automatic Control for Mobile Devices

Abstract

The current Bachelor’s thesis’s objective is to create virtual laboratories using the software tool Easy Javascript Simulation; namely two tanks system and Pendulum. These simulations created using Easy Javascript Simulation can be executed with web browser and also with mobile devices such as smartphones or tables and can be used in education. The accomplishment of the development of these simulations involved the study of a nonlinear system, the state space analysis and, linearization of a nonlinear system, state feedback study and state observer study. The present paper is organized as follow. First of all there is an introduction of Easy Javascript Simulation. Then, the state space analysis is presented, including the study of equilibrium points, linearization of a nonlinear system, the state feedback analysis and also the state observer analysis. Following these there is the study of the two tanks system and Pendulum system, involving the instruction of each application and some examples done using these applications. Finally, there is also the realization of the project budget and environmental impact at the end of this project.
