Control design is a fundamental skill in a broad range of engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, fluid, chemical, and biological. As such, it has become a staple of the core curriculum in engineering programs worldwide.
As with many engineering topics, instructors have long recognized the need for hands-on lab work and experimentation that can link the theoretical concepts students learn—in various areas of engineering, including control theory—with their practical application.
At Tallinn University of Technology, the team has developed the ReImagine Lab framework to address these challenges. The framework combines digital twins built using MATLAB® and Simulink® with extended reality technologies to streamline the development and operation of hands-on, virtual, and remote laboratory setups.
