Building Robots: System Integration

Overview

Learn how to integrate components and modules from diverse engineering disciplines into cohesive and functional robotic systems.

What you'll learn

  • Explain what a mechatronic system is and its design process
  • Describe a mechatronic system’s structure to others
  • Define and set system specifications and describe their consequences
  • Employ 3D printing in mechatronic system design and integration
  • Explain the basics of mobile and articulated robots
  • Experience the mechatronic system assembly and testing process
  • Calculate the kinematics of simple robots
  • Create a control program for mechatronic systems
  • Apply wired and wireless communication technologies to control a robot
  • Work as an integrator in a multidisciplinary team of specialists
  • Systematically approach mechatronic system design projects to understand the system as a whole
  • Make design compromises between system specifications and the difficulty of implementation, which significantly influences design success
