Quanser develops instrumented robotics, controls and autonomous-systems platforms for universities and research laboratories. Its ecosystem combines physical hardware, real-time control software, digital twins and courseware for teaching and experimentation.
About
Quanser grew out of academic control-systems work led by founder Jacob Apkarian and has spent more than three decades building laboratory equipment for engineering education and research. The Canadian company designs its systems around repeatability, open control access and integration with common technical-computing environments, allowing institutions to move from theory to experiments without assembling every subsystem independently.
Its robotics portfolio includes QArm manipulators, QBot mobile platforms, autonomous-vehicle and drone laboratories, haptics systems and integrated Physical AI environments. Hardware is paired with real-time software, digital twins and teaching or research content, with support for tools including ROS, Python, MATLAB/Simulink and NVIDIA simulation workflows. Quanser is therefore an enabling research-infrastructure company rather than an operational robot fleet provider.
