ME 370 - Robotics and Automation

Credits: 2
Credit Configuration: 1.5+1.5, 1.5+0.5 Cr.

Students are introduced to a variety of mechatronic components including microprocessors, PLCs, actuators, sensors, and robotics. Robotics is an application of linear algebra, trigonometric techniques, and kinematic principles to study the motion of spatial mechanisms. Students will examine various types of manipulators that range in complexity from simple two degree-of-freedom planar robots to the human arm. Students will also program mechatronics systems that include robots to complete a specified set of tasks.
