CEP Short Term Course On

Applied Mechatronics

May 24 – 26, 2003

INTRODUCTION

Modern systems consist of mechanical, electrical, electronics and micro-computers and the combination is mechatronics. The synergy between these multi-disciplinary systems leads to a modern smart machine. In this course, modern sensors, actuators, micro-computers will be introduced and these will be used to create a smart system. This course will increase the awareness and understanding of the modern sensors and the related interfacing issues with other systems. Hands on experience is the main emphasis of the course this will be accomplished by spending more than 20 hours in the laboratory during the duration of the course. After this course a designer will have better appreciation about the mechanical-electrical-electronics interface. This will also help them in taking right decisions at the early stage of a design.

FACULTY

· Prof. H. Arya (arya@aero.iitb.ac.in), Course co-ordinator, Aerospace Engineering

· Prof. K. Sudhakar (sudhakar@aero.iitb.ac.in), Aerospace Engineering

· Prof. P.M. Mujumdar (mujumdar@aero.iitb.ac.in), Aerospace Engineering

Speaker from industry will participate for case study.

WHO MAY BENEFIT?

Target audience is NOT the main work force looking at automation, guidance and control. The audience will be members of other groups - who should develop a feel, appreciation and awareness about system integration. The course is aimed at creating awareness about the latest in sensors technology and potential benefits of integrating it into systems; ie. Mechatronics.

FACILITY

CASDE is equipped with latest in sensors and associated hardware (www.casde.iitb.ac.in).

Sensor: Analog sensors, Accelerometer, angular rate sensor, pressure sensor (MEMS based. Temperature sensor : RTD and semiconductor type. Linear displacement : LVDT, potentiometer. Linear velocity : Magnetic plunger type. Angular displacement : Potentiometer. Light sensors : Tx and Rx combination. Proximity sensors : Hall effect sensors Digital sensors: Heading sensor, GPS, Digital infrared range sensor, Sonar based distance measurement sensor, Angular position : Shaft encoder Actuators: DC motors, RC servos, Stepper motor, Relays. Microcontroller: 68HC11 (Adapt 11 board from Technological Arts), Usage of 'c' cross-compiler for 68HC11.

VENUE

CASDE, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Bombay.
