Why choose this project topic?
The project addresses stabilising a fictional ball position despite measurement delay, making the interaction between mechanism, sensor and controller visible. Comparing position error, settling time and actuator demand gives a student a useful basis for design decisions, demonstrations and a critical discussion of where the integrated system can fail.
How do the selected sensing, actuation or control choices affect position error, settling time and actuator demand when stabilising a fictional ball position despite measurement delay?
Select an available approved trainer or fictional model, then agree the mechanism, control range and evaluation protocol for stabilising a fictional ball position despite measurement delay.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the mechanism, interfaces and operating limits required for stabilising a fictional ball position despite measurement delay.
- 02Model bounded beam motion, compare controller designs and test sensor noise and actuator saturation against identical disturbances.
- 03Evaluate position error, settling time and actuator demand and document failure cases and uncertainty.
A suggested research approach
Model bounded beam motion, compare controller designs and test sensor noise and actuator saturation against identical disturbances. Obtain approval for any physical rig and keep testing supervised and within low-energy limits. Record the mechanical and software configuration, compare position error, settling time and actuator demand against a stated reference, and distinguish demonstration success from validated field reliability.
What you will need
- Documented dynamic equations
- Control simulation software
- Synthetic disturbances
Keep your project scope clear
The simulation does not certify a physical balancing mechanism or safe actuator operation.
