Application of 2DOF Quadrotor-based Laboratory Testbed for engineering education

The paper is devoted to application of the novel 2DOF Quadrotor-based Laboratory Testbed for engineering education in the such the disciplines as Automatic Control, Adaptation and Identification, Real-time Control Systems, Data and Signal Processing, Telecommunications, Information Theory, Flight Dynamics, high- and low-level Programming Languages. The testbed is based on a quadrotor, mounted in the gimbals. Testbed is aimed for debugging and pre-flight testing the quadrotor control algorithms, for scientific research and education. In the paper, construction of the Testbed is briefly described and the experience of its usage for engineering education in the ITMO University is outlined.
