The course introduces students to the basic concepts of mechatronics. The starting point is to define the general mechatronic system and its key elements. The following is a presentation of procedures and tools for modelling and control of mechatronic systems. The explanation includes an introduction to the principles of basic elements and the introduction of typical examples of mechatronic systems in machine design, robotics, aerospace, the automotive industry, consumer goods and everyday applications. (Full-time and combined study.)
