THPR 4032 - Electronics for the Theater, Mechatronic

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Mechatronics is new term used to describe the synergistic integration of mechanism, electronics, and computer control to achieve a functional theatrical effect or illusion. Because of the emphasis upon integration, this course will center around system integration in which small teams of students will configure, design, and implement a succession of mechatronic subsystems, leading to a main project either used on stage or for invited guests in the shop. Lectures will complement the laboratory experience with comparative surveys, operational principles, and integrated design issues associated with the spectrum of mechanism, electronics, and control components. Class lectures will cover topics intended to complement the laboratory work, including mechanisms, actuators, motor drives, sensors and electronic interfaces, microcontroller hardware and programming and basic controls.
