Presentations
Grad TA for ‘Mechatronic Systems’ (Mandatory course for Robotics major)
About the course:
Presents a clear and comprehensive approach to the area of mechatronic systems, including the sensors, actuators, microcontrollers and applications which are found at the heart of everyday products and devices. Provides a systems-level approach to integrating these elements into a functioning device.
My responsibilities:
- Teach over 100 students basics of Industrial Robots such as Universal Robots (UR5), Fanuc, etc.
- Provide feedback on Simulink and MATLAB controller design homework.
- Answer students' questions related to circuit design in Simulink, burning into Arduino microcontroller, design of PID controller for step and sine input, etc.
- Provide guidance to students on their final project including deployment of Machine Learning models with mechatronic systems of sensors, actuators and microcontroller.
