MF2043 Robust Mechatronics 6.0 credits

The course is about design of robust mechatronic systems with a clear emphasis on how the electronic hardware is appropriately designed.
The labs can contain both experimental studies and simulations, in order to give the opportunity to create both broad and deep understanding of the function of the involved electronics.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

1. Design electronic systems that are robust with regard to function, environmental impact and electromagnetic compatibility

2. Design and produce electronic subsystems such such as power supply, drives, filters and current sensors

3. Adapt properties of analogue and digital electric signals so that they in a robust way can interact with digital electronics for example in the form of a microcontroller

4. Design and produce mechatronic systems containing inter alia connected electronic subsystems similar to the above-mentioned

A Bachelor of Science, subject area mechanical engineering or an equivalent discipline.

Has passed the course MF1016 Electrical engineering or equivalent knowledge in electrical engineering.

Has passed the course DD1320 Applied computer science/DD1321 Applied programming and computer science or equivalent knowledge in programming technique.

Basic knowledge in microcontroller systems and C-programming.

Digital and distributed materials provided

Data sheets and other information that students find on their own on the internet

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

• LAB2 - Laboratory work, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN2 - Written examination, 2.0 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.
