Embedded Control Reimagined: A Systematic Approach with Rapid Prototyping & Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Overview

In today’s fast-paced engineering environment, reducing development time, optimizing resource utilization, and lowering costs while maintaining high reliability and performance are essential goals across both industry and academia. This seminar introduces a systematic approach to embedded control development, centered on model-based design, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.

Participants will explore efficient workflow to design, simulate, and tune control systems, perform plant modeling, and execute real-time testing using Speedgoat hardware - ultimately aimed at accelerating development cycles. Introduction to Polyspace Test is featured in this seminar. This is a tool for early-stage embedded software validation through unit testing and automated code quality checks, which enable teams to catch issues early and reduce costly rework.

This session is ideal for researchers, engineers, and development teams seeking to modernize their workflow, enhance productivity, and reduce project costs through a smarter, more integrated approach to embedded control design.
