“…The steps of the original BPS design and production phase are discussed in this section of the article. The BPS concept that was evaluated, designed, and chosen for production is essentially a clone of similar BPS solutions stated in the works [1,3,7,11,[16][17][18], but with details similar to [11,27]. However, the "driving board" for the two servo motors had to be picked first.…”

“…Fuzzy controllers as advanced solutions are also described in [9,10]. In articles [11,12], the authors propose sliding mode techniques (adaptive back stepping control) with the strategy of fuzzy monitoring. They have experimentally found that adaptive back stepping control is more effective than conventional SMC control because it takes much time to achieve favorable tracking accuracy.…”

“…In order to amplify the contour of the object on the binary image, it is necessary to use the dilate() function, which will "thicken" the contour by a certain amount of pixels in order to be more clearly visible (Algorithm 2). def process_frame(self, frame): self.hsv = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV) # transform into HSV color space• • • blurred = cv2.GaussianBlur(self.hsv, (11,11), 0) mask = cv2.inRange(blurred, self.color_low, self.color_high) # threshold mask = cv2.erode(mask, None, iterations = 2) mask = cv2.dilate(mask, None, iterations = 2)…”

This paper presents the process of designing, fabricating, assembling, programming and optimizing a prototype nonlinear mechatronic Ball-Plate System (BPS) as a laboratory platform for engineering education STEM. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of BPS, the task presents challenges such as: (1) difficulty in controlling the stabilization of a particular position point, known as steady-state error, (2) position resolution, known as specific distance error, and (3) adverse environmental effects—light-shadow error, which is also discussed in this paper. The laboratory prototype BPS for education was designed, manufactured and installed at Karlovac University of Applied Sciences in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics program. The low-cost two-degree BPS uses a USB HD camera for computer vision as a feedback sensor and two DC servo motors as actuators. Due to control problems, an advanced block diagram of the control system is proposed and discussed. An open-source control system based on Python scripts, which allows the use of ready-made functions from the library, allows the color of the ball and the parameters of the PID controller to be changed, indirectly simplifying the control system and performing mathematical calculations directly. The authors will continue their research on this BPS mechatronic platform and control algorithms.

“…This part of the paper discusses the steps of BPS design and production phase. The concept of BPS that was considered, designed and selected for production is actually a replica of similar BPS solutions listed in the works [1,3,7,11,[16][17][18] basically, but in details similar to [11,27] (Figure 1). For the purpose of computer design, the software solution SolidWorks was accepted, and as printing software Ultimaker Cura.…”
