Learning outcomes
The subject gives basic overview about mechatronics system and its components and methods of control. This subject enhances student knowledge in different (special) chapters. The special attention is focused on sensor - control system - electric actuator chain. The practices are based on practical problems, design and implementation of the mechatronics system. The mathematical modeling is present too.
Students get knowledge and competneces for analysis and mechatronics system device.
Prerequisites
Knowledge in areas of measurement, sensors, electrotechnics and control are advised. Prerequisities are needed.
