MEAM 610 - Advanced Mechatronics

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): MEAM 410/510 or equivalent, (understanding of DC motors, basic prototyping skills, familiarity with programming microcontrollers, basic digital electronics, ideal op-amps). This course provides an in-depth exploration into electro-mechanical systems.Topics covered will expand on actuation mechanisms (including shape memory alloy and brushless motors); sensing mechanisms (including range sensors and proximity detectors), signal conditioning (with particular emphasis on dealing with noise and the non-idealities of typical components); programming modalities (including real-time operating systems and filters); and communication mechanisms (such as wireless RF, CANbus, SPI/I2C and others). The project-based course will focus on the integration of systems at the OEM-component level and will include significant mechanical interface design.
