ENGT 240 — C Advanced Robotics (formerly Electronics and Circuits) 3 Units
Term hours: 54 lecture and 18 laboratory. This course is the last of the three series in Robotics and focuses on actuator design, embedded computing, and complex response processes. Concepts of dynamic response as relates to vibration and motion planning will be presented. The principles of operation and interface methods with various actuators will be discussed, including pneumatic, magnetic, piezoelectric, linear, stepper, etc. Complex feedback mechanisms will be implemented using software executing in an embedded system. The necessary concepts for real-time processor programming, re-entrant code and interrupt signaling will be introduced. (CSU)
