Freescale Cup

§  Global competition –  Over 33,000 students enrolled each year –  2015 - 4th running season in EMEA* :

159 teams - 50 universities - 15 countries –  Build, program, and race a model car

around a track autonomously –  Main challenge: efficient control design

§  MathWorks is involved –  Support for the Freescale hardware –  Providing software to the teams

* EMEA: Europe, Middle East and Africa

User Testimonial

§  Massimo Violante –  Associate Professor at Politecnico di Torino –  Host of the 2015 EMEA finals –  Teams scored EMEA 2nd in 2015 and 2014

§  „Competition is an ideal playground for students to get a working knowledge of the concepts we are teaching“

§  Using MathWorks tools –  Simulink → design closed control loops –  Hardware Support → deploy algorithms –  System Identification Toolbox → identify engine characteristics

Winners Share Their Know-How

Freescale Cup EMEA Champions 2014 have used MATLAB and Simulink and want to share their knowledge.

„I downloaded and installed the latest hardware support package and successfully

tested the configuration […]. Great!”

Prof. Richard Balogh, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava
