After successful completion of the course, students are able 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.

Computation exercise (mandatory)For the successful completion of the computation exercises, a positive result is required for at least three of the four exercises. All the four exercises have to be submitted in any cases (even if the first three are passed already). Computation exercises must be submitted in the form of a PDF file by email to both Shingo Ito (ito@acin.tuwien.ac.at) and Andras Galffy (galffy@acin.tuwien.ac.at) by the following deadlines:
CAX exercise (mandatory)
The registration to the CAX exercises (group registration) will open in TISS after the lecture on 21.10.2020.
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.
Oral examinations
In the winter term 2021, the oral examinations will take place at the institute in person.The corona measures issued by the university (https://www.tuwien.at/en/tu-wien/corona) have to be respected, in order to take part in the exam. A confirmation of the personal corona status (e.g. 3G-rule, confirmation of vaccination, recovery or a negative corona test) is necessary.
Board examination
Board examinations (4th and 5th exam attempt) will be held on the following dates:
Registration for board examinations is not possible in TISS. For this purpose, please contact us at least two weeks before the examination date by email to mechatronics376050@acin.tuwien.ac.at
Use Group Registration to register.
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.
