MF2007 Dynamics and Motion Control 9.0 credits

Administer About course

The course gives insight in Mechatronic Control System design. The focus is on modelling, design and prototyping of control systems for mechatronic applications. The course integrates previous knowledge primarily from courses in mechanics, automatic control, electrical and software engineering. After the course you will be able to specify, model, design and partly implement control systems typical for mechatronic products, using professional computer based tools.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course includes lectures to provide overview and inspiration, and laboratory work in which the participants work on a project. The project is modularized and parts of it are to be finalized each week of the course. The project work is done in groups of up to three to four participants. The course is concluded by oral presentations per group of the project work and by an individual written exam.

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of this course, the student should be able to:

  • Specify overall performance requirements for a motion control system.
  • Understand the implication, and master the selection, of actuator and sensor components.
  • Derive dynamic models of typical mechatronic applications.
  • Find the correct parameters of dynamic models using experimental methods.
  • Do dynamic analysis of the model in both frequency and time domain.
  • Design model based feedback and model following control, i.e., servo control, both in continuous and discrete time .
  • Do simulations of application and control system models in continuous and discrete time for the purpose of verification, performance analysis and further devlopment
  • Implement and structure the controller software for microprocessor implementation.
  • Understand implementation restrictions due to sensor and actuator limitations and microprocessor resources such as computing speed, fixed vs. floating point arithmetic and memory.
  • Design and use both digital and analogue filters.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project, 6.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TEN1 - Written examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade
