The aim of this course is to understand the basic principles and basics of system integration of mechatronic systems. This includes system dynamics and the physical working principles of mechatronic components and subsystems, since they are used as high-tech automation solutions in modern mechatronic systems.
In the lecture, a comprehensive approach and related system concepts are presented for technical analysis and the evaluation of existing mechatronic systems, as well as the design and selection of optimal components and working principles.
In the corresponding lab course, the theoretical principles are applied to real systems. Students build up mechatronic systems and analyze/change their dynamic behavior.
Analysis and synthesis of mechatronic systems, including system integration and design.

Wednesday lecture starts at 11:05 h in lecture room Ei2.
Thursday lecture starts at 11:05 h in lecture room Ei10.
Computation exercise (mandatory)
For the successful completion of the computation exercises, a positive result is required for at least three of the four exercises. In any case all four exercises have to be submitted (even if the first three are passed already). Computation exercises must be submitted to the office in CA0421 by the following days:
- Computation exercise 1: 13.11.2018
- Computation exercise 2: 28.11.2018
- Computation exercise 3: 19.12.2018
- Computation exercise 4: 15.01.2019
CAX exercise (mandatory)
The registration to the CAX exercises will take place on 17.10.2018 right after the lecture.
- Location: Internet room FH1, Freihaus
- The exercise starts at 9 am on the following dates
- Group 1: 22.10.2018 and 23.10.2018
- Group 2: 29.10.2018 and 30.10.2018
- Group 3: 12.11.2018 and 13.11.2018
This course has an immanent examination character, beginning with the registration for the lab excercises in CAX.
The successful completion of the CAX-laboratory and the computational exercises during the course is a prerequisite for admission to the final oral exam - if this prerequisite is not fulfilled a negative grade has to be given for the entire course.
If the prerequisite for the orgal exam is given (successful completion of the CAX-lab and of the computational excercises) it will persist also beyond the respective course run, i.e. you can also do the oral exam at a later stage and you do NOT HAVE TO take the exam within 1 year of the respective course run.
This course is based on the book:
The Design of High Performance Mechatronics: High-Tech Functionality by Multidisciplinary System Integration, 2nd revised edition, R. Munnig Schmidt, G. Schitter, J. Van Eijk,
Delft University Press, ISBN 978-1-61499-367-4 (2014)
The book can be purchased for a discounted student price at the secretary office of Mrs. Grabensteiner at ACIN.
