Module Overview |
|||||
|
The area of Mechatronics extends from simple On-Off control and relays to complicated Programmable Logical Controllers (PLCs) and actuating robotic wrists and arms. In this course the main aspects of Mechatronic Engineering will be covered. Starting from the idea of automation and implementing the on-off control via relay and evolving it to PLC and finally an introduction to robotics through robotic arms. The course has been divided into 8 Sections covering a specific topic in Mechatronics. This course has a project-based lab, student undergo sessions to design a system using PLC. |
