A SHORT TERM COURSE ON MECHATRONICS AND ROBOTICS

A SHORT TERM COURSE ON

MECHATRONICS

AND

ROBOTICS

15^th to 19^th July 2013

Course Objectives

Mechatronics integrates mechanical, electrical and software engineering in the design, development and control of diverse systems used on a range of industries including manufacturing, medicine and the service industries. Examples of Mechatronics system include aircrafts, dishwashers, motor vehicles, automated manufacturing plants, medical and surgical devices and systems, robots of all types, many toys, artificial organs and many others. Mechatronics engineers are therefore involved in almost every possible industry at levels from applications development to manufacturing to advanced research. However, as far as this country is concerned, the concept of Mechatronics and Robotics is still largely associated with imported technologies. The import of technology perhaps is a good one-time solution to create the domestic market, but in order to enjoy the fruits of technology perpetually; one must develop in-house manufacturing and R&D establishments. A prerequisite for achieving this target is the availability of quality manpower in adequate number. It may be noted that the existing trained manpower in this sector in India is scanty. Herein lies the importance of launching Human Resource Development programs in the areas of Mechatronics and Robotics. The objective of the proposed course is to introduce the state-of-art technology and products in Mechatronics and Robotics to practicing Engineers and learning Researchers to enable them to take up challenging assignment in future and spread the learning to the peers and creating professional environment. Background theory of product and technology in Mechatronics and Robotics as well as practical hands on shall be introduced and deliberates upon during the programme. The course will be interdisciplinary in the nature and the participants will be given necessary inputs in all areas, starting from fundamentals and then in the simulation and ending in real hardware. The course envisage enhancement of knowledge and confidence of the participants to become leaders of Mechatronics and Robotic Design teams and carry out successful project in their perspective fields.
