The word mechatronics is composed of “mecha” from mechanism and the “tronics” from electronics. It is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes. Mechatronics generally involves (i) implementing electronics control in a mechanical system (ii) enhancing existing mechanical design with intelligent control and (iii) replacing mechanical component with an electronic solution. This course will cover all aspects related with mechatronics such as sensors and transducers, actuators and mechanisms, signal conditioning, microprocessors and microcontrollers, modeling & system response and design and mechatronics.INTENDED AUDIENCE :Mechanical/Electrical/Electronic under graduate and post graduate studentsPREREQUISITES : NoneINDUSTRIES SUPPORT :Automobile, DRDO, Railways

    The course was largely theoretical with very little practical application. The lectures were poorly delivered by the professor, with minimal explanation and effort. However, I did gain some knowledge in areas such as computer organization, PID controllers, AI, mechatronic system design, mechanical and electrical actuation systems, and PLC programming. We also worked on a few PowerPoint-based projects, including a line-following mobile robot and a myoelectrical robotic arm, were presented through clunky PowerPoint slides rather than meaningful hands-on work, which made the overall experience unsatisfying.
