An indepentent study course with laboratory in robotics and mechatronics

Abstract: For the past few years the faculty of the Department of Engineering Technology at Cleveland State University has been developing special topics courses for the Electronics Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs to serve as technical elective courses suitable for small classes or even independent study. This paper describes one of these special topics courses that has been developed to study robotics and mechatronics. It features hands-on activities with a small mobile autonomous robot in the study of the technology, methods, and practices of robotics and mechatronics (the integration of mechanical, electrical, and computing elements). Weekly laboratory experiments involve building or modifying a robot with various sensors and programming the machine to perform assigned tasks. Regular reading and homework assignments are provided using WebCT and cover basic details on key topics such as kinematics, mechanisms, actuators, sensors, motors, electronic hardware, and controllers. The course provides opportunities for independent study and reduces the instructor contact time to about one hour per week for a 3-credit hour course.

Design and Realization of Distributed Real-Time Controller for Mechatronic Systems

Abstract: Developing distributed embedded control systems increases the need for a consistent design approach. Our example is taken from the mechatronic design in the automotive industry and illustrates our structuring concept for a modular realization of real-time-critical controllers. In our consistent design approach we employ the structured modelling of mechatronic systems, a modular integration platform for real-time software implementation and a modular hardware platform based on FPGAs and microcontrollers.

Smart Hybrid Bike

Abstract: Mechatronics, which is also called mechatronic engineering, is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the combination of electronics, electrical, mechanical, robotics, computer, control and product engineering. The contemplated entity of this project is to flourish a system that works using two sources. Internal combustion engine produce appreciable emissions and are also less efficient. While considering electric drives, it is having zero emission but also has very limited range. Hence by combining the best aspects of both results in the augmentation of a hybrid motorcycle. Optimum strategy is needed to use electric drive during slow moving city traffic, hill climbing etc. and Internal combustion(IC) engine for cruising in highways. Thus it would result in a reduction of pollutions in cities along with an improved mileage. As the name resembles a combination of fingerprint scanner and a micro-controller makes the motorcycle SMART by providing keyless feature. This project outlines the design and construction of a “SMART HYBRID MOTORCYCLE” by clubbing the two technologies.
