Design of Electromechanical Robotic Systems

Course Description

This course covers the design, construction, and testing of field robotic systems, through team projects with each student responsible for a specific subsystem. Projects focus on electronics, instrumentation, and machine elements. Design for operation in uncertain conditions is a focus point, with ocean waves and marine structures as a central theme. Topics include basic statistics, linear systems, Fourier transforms, random processes, spectra, ethics in engineering practice, and extreme events with applications in design. — Course material by Prof. Franz Hover, MIT OpenCourseWare, used under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
