Mechatronic design of strongly nonlinear systems on a basis of three wheeled mobile platform

The paper discusses the mechatronic design applied for the surveillance system based on the energy performance index algorithm. The exploited mechatronic techniques i.e.virtual prototyping, Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) and rapid prototyping on target object, supported by the LabVIEW, allowed for integration of the developed control systems and strongly nonlinear mobile platform, built simultaneously for the research purposes.
