Abstract
This paper provides a teaching concept for control theory education based on Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP). A cart inverted pendulum virtual physical model is developed on V-REP. Students must analyze, design, and implement a suitable controller for the cart inverted pendulum system using their knowledge of the control theory. Different from traditional experiment and numerical simulation, virtual experiment is safe and less constrained. Moreover, the experiment results are more intuitive and obvious. This study can improve students’ interest in learning the control theory and help students understand the relevant content better.
