Embedded System interfacing and Programming
This course covers sensors, actuators, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), essential for automation and control systems.
Sensors: Focuses on position, velocity, and force measurement, including LVDTs, encoders, RTDs, thermocouples, capacitive, piezoelectric, and pressure sensors.
Actuators: Explores electric actuators, power electronics, hydraulic and pneumatic actuators for motion control.
PLCs: Covers I/O modules, latching, timers, counters, data registers, and digital/analog operations.
Students gain practical knowledge in sensor integration, actuator control, and PLC programming, preparing them for industrial automation and mechatronic applications.
G1: Translate mechatronics systems and robots into mathematical models and simulations.
G2: Critically evaluate robotic systems in comparison with state-of-the-art robotic research.
G4: Develop, test, and integrate robotics hardware and software into fully functional systems.
