This "Robotic Engineering in Industrial Automation" course dives into mechatronics, the fusion of engineering fields that drives modern manufacturing. You'll explore sensors, the silent heroes that gather data for precise machine control. From temperature sensors to vision systems, various sensors are crucial for robot and machine operation. The course then examines control systems, including open-loop and closed-loop systems, that guide machinery. Additionally, you'll delve into digital motors, electrical drives, and microcontrollers, the building blocks of automation. Finally, the course explores mechatronics system design, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and fuzzy logic for enhanced control and intelligence.
