| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Study of the basics of mechatronics, a multidisciplinary technology field comprised of mechanical and electronic aspects. The lectures will describe the history and concepts that make up the field of mechatronics and explain the individual technologies and applications of mechatronics. The individual technologies comprising mechatronics include sensor/actuator/computer interfaces, actuator control methods, and their mechanisms. In addition, we will discuss robot manipulators as an application of mechatronics and explain concepts related to kinematics and dynamics. |

| Course Goals |
The objective of this course is to cultivate an understanding of the basic concepts of mechatronics, a multidisciplinary field combining the principles of mechanical and electronic engineering. The course will pursue the following six objectives: 1. Understanding the history and development of the field of mechatronics. 2. Understanding the configuration of mechatronic systems. 3. Understanding and acquiring modes of thinking about mechatronic systems through the study of examples. 4. Study of the existing sensor and actuator systems and making selections. 5. Understanding computer control and the configuration of electronic machines that perform complex operations in different situations. 6. Understanding the basics of kinematics and dynamics of robotics as an application of mechatronic principles. |
