浮上装置を用いた体験実験による制御教育

抄録

In the control education, students are able to understand the control theory intuitively through the education using experiments. In this study, the authors develop an experimental device for the control education. By using the device, it is possible for students to comprehend the control through experience and to enhance the students comprehension in the control. In the device, a controlled object is floated by rotating a propeller, and the floating level is adjusted by controlling the angular velocity of the propeller. Further, students recognize the control effect resulted from the control actuation since the propeller is rotating while the object is floated. The floating device is developed of commercial components, and hence, an experimental setup can be prepared at a low price. Students are educated on the control theory using the device, and its effectiveness is validated. In the control education, the device operation method and the control theory are explained alternately. From the questionnaire before and after the experiment, the effectiveness of the control education using the device is demonstrated.
