MECHATRONICS SYSTEM DESIGN LABORATORY
ABOUT
Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and control engineering to design and build intelligent systems and products. The Mechatronics System Design Laboratory serves as a dynamic environment where students learn to develop integrated systems used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, and automation. Through hands-on experimentation, design challenges, and advanced simulations, the lab provides opportunities to explore sensors, actuators, controllers, and embedded systems that form the core of mechatronic systems.
Objectives
- Understand the principles and operation of various sensors and transducers and Master signal acquisition, conditioning, and processing techniques.
- Develop hands-on expertise in sensor interfacing and real-time data acquisition. Train in the use of modern signal processing tools, algorithms, and software.
- Conduct research in advanced areas such as sensor fusion, predictive analytics, and smart sensor systems. Innovate and develop cutting-edge sensor-based technologies.
- Design and implement sensor-based solutions for fields like automation, healthcare, IoT, and robotics. Develop efficient and reliable signal processing systems for real-world challenges.
