Ball Balancing Table

Ball Balancing Table, with its easily accessible and user-friendly components, is a hands-on experiment, closing the gap between real industrial systems and DIY-approach. Open source software makes it possible that students and researchers can modify and test their own developed algorithms. Students can understand the effects of different controller types on the system and easily cover controller design concepts with control system experiments. With the extensive control system courseware and controllers, such as NI myRIO, Arduino they have the opportunity to learn the essential aspects of control theory by experimenting. The system is also suitable for graduate studies for designing advanced controller types such as robust control, adaptive control, and so on.
