Mechatronics

Introduction to mechatronics: terms, synthesis of computer science, electronics, electrical and mechanical engineering. Mechanical components in mechatronics. Acquisition and transfer of measured quantities. Electro-mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Principles and design of mechatronic systems control. Microprocessor systems: architectures, program support, human- machine interface. Analysis of operation on examples of mechatronic systems for different applications.

An insight into synergy  of electrical engineering, computer science and mechanics from a perspective of required engineering and technical knowledge and practical synthesis of these knowledge through practical examples.

Lectures (30 hours) and seminar/exercises (30 hours). Foreign students: project/seminar.
