Basic applied concepts in mechatronic Components and instruments. Overview of sensors, overview of instrumentation. Fundamental Sensor Concepts: Sensor characteristics: transfer function, range and sensitivity, errors and calibration, accuracy and precision, linearity. Sensors for position, displacement, level and flow, occupancy. Sensors for velocity, acceleration, force and strain. Transducers, machine vision, actuating systems, information and cognitive systems, mechatronic instrumentation, evaluation of mechatronic systems. Therefore, course serves as an ideal course to introduce to the principles of measurements, data acquisition, sensors, and programming tools. This course is traditionally focused on fundamentals of experimental design, uncertainty analysis and propagation, behavior of measurement systems, and data analysis tools and techniques.
