In this tutorial, we show how convenient Collimator makes it to use a Kalman Filter to estimate the state of a pendulum to better inform an LQR controller
Model Predictive Control is a somewhat advanced technique for achieving a control output target trajectory. This tutorial takes you through the process of how to implement it using Collimator.
In this tutorial, we will show how to model nonlinear aircraft dynamics in Collimator. We will use the F16 model as a case study. The F16 dynamics were firstly introduced in NASA Technical Paper No. 1538, 1979. A reduced fidelty version is written in Fortran for the F16. Here, we will build the F16 nonlinear model in Collimator and investigate how to run an open loop simulation at different operating points...
Collimator is by far the best modeling and simulation software that I have used. Using the block diagrams that Collimator provides has allowed me to simplify my code and shift the time I was spending writing convoluted scripts back to my research!

Collimator is head and shoulders above the rest. I’ve found modeling to be very easy and straightforward. I’ve also saved a bunch of time and money while running my simulations. The same simulations that would take hours to run on my local PC run in minutes.

Collimator proved to be the best solution for me because of how easy it was to get data from our back end, use that to create synthetic data, and then move that data into my neural net for training.

It is amazing to use Python, run on a web browser and collaborate on the cloud […] This is undoubtedly 10x better than what I've used before!
