Learning Outcomes

After the course, the student is able to - use and implement applications for real-time data acquisition and control using xPC Target environment - name typical displacement sensors and use laser distance sensors - explain piezoelectric effect and the operation principles of typical piezoelectric actuators, use piezoelectric actuators, analyse the properties of piezoelectric actuators, and implement feedback control for piezoelectric actuators - explain shape memory effect and the operation principles of typical shape memory actuators, use shape memory actuators, and analyse their properties using own measurements - explain magnetostrictive effect and the operation principles of magnetostrictive actuators, use magnetostrictive actuators, and analyse their properties using own measurements - recognise different types of electro active polymers and explain their operation principles - explain magnetic shape memory (MSM) effect and the operation principles of MSM actuators - explain the operation principles magnetorheological fluids - report own measurement results in a technical writing style

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes

Option 1: The course assessment is based on the written exam. The students can gain bonus points by participating the lectures. The bonus points will be taken into account in the final grade. Option 2: The course assessment is based on the evaluation of the laboratory exercises (4) and the project report. Active attendance at the lectures is required.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (0-5)

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
