COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives

The combined knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering is required for the purpose of practical implementation of robot or automatic systems. This course deals with sensor and transducer technologies to convert physical quantities to electrical voltages or currents, actuation systems like electric motors, electric circuits for interface, digital logic, structure of microprocessor and so on. In addition, the programming skill to make the system move in the way of designer’s intention is needed for this course. In the class, the experiments will be carried out to verify the theoretical knowledge. Through the team project, students will experience the design process of the automatic machine with their own ideas and improve their cooperative spirit.
