Bridging Theory and Practice: Model-Based Design in Industry
Abstract
Model-based design (MBD) is an engineering approach that uses models to represent and analyze the behavior of complex systems throughout the design and development process. It integrates various stages of development, from concept and design to implementation of controls through to testing and deployment, using a unified framework. MATLAB and Simulink are the de-facto standard tools employed to implement MBD in many industries, from automotive and aerospace to industrial automation and more.
In this talk, we will use the example of an autonomous tractor to explore how MBD is leveraged for developing complex systems efficiently and effectively. Attendees will gain an overview of modern development workflows and engineering practices and get an insight into the practical applications of MATLAB and Simulink in real-world projects.
