Introduction to Mechatronics

Mechatronics deals with the loop of the dynamic system (mechanical, electric or a combination of several fields), with the control and with the interfaces used for the measurement response (sensors) and the imposition of control (actuators). And due to the fact that systems rarely meet the assumptions of our study, the mathematical model is complex (non - linear), has flaws etc. and usually use intelligent control systems (fuzzy logic, neural networks and hybrid techniques).

Objectives

The objective of the class is the application of classical and intelligent control techniques on dynamical systems. After the attendance of the course, the participants will be able at least to understand how a washing machine works, and even to program it.

Prerequisites

Basic programming knowledge.
