OVERVIEW

The course is based on laboratory activity focused on the design and realization of a mechatronic device. Activities are practical and present mechanical, measurement and control topics and will include programming  intelligent measurement and control system and designing and realization of mechanical components by 3d printing.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Operational understanding of the integration of mechanics, measurement and automatic control, with particular reference to the design, development and integration phases between hardware and software components. The objectives will be pursued through experimental activities aimed at the realization and testing of a mechatronic device equipped with self-produced mechanical parts by 3D printing and an advanced measurement and control system programmed by the students themselves.
