MapleSim Used to Rapidly Develop a High Fidelity Multi-Domain Model of a Robotic Space Rover
Unmanned planetary exploration is a focus for many space research agencies worldwide. To do this successfully, advanced autonomous robotic rovers are needed. Dr. Amir Khajepour, Canada Research Chair in Mechatronic Vehicle Systems and Professor of Engineering in the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering department at the University of Waterloo (UW), is working with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), Maplesoft, and the Government of Canada, to develop a full solution for the power management system of autonomous rovers. With MapleSim, the base of the mathematical model of the 6 wheeled rover was developed in only a month, without writing down a single equation.

Modular bearing system for planetary Wind turbine gearboxes
Most wind turbines use gearboxes to transform the relatively low rotational speed of the main shaft into higher speeds required for power generation. Wind turbine designers have to face 2 main challenges when defining these gearboxes. First, the forces a wind turbine gearbox has to transmit are forever increasing while the gearbox itself has to remain compact. Second, these gearboxes are difficult and costly to design, to manufacture and to maintain.
