Course content
From the late 1980s, microfabrication technology has been applied to MEMS in a sensor field and is essential for electrical products now. Also, autonomous mobile robot or UAV have dramatically been developed as MEMS sensors grow. In near future, the robot industry is expected to increase. The principle and application example of those MEMS sensors and mobile robots will be introduced in the lecture.
Purpose of class
In this lecture, the process of research & development, and the application example in the micro mechatronics field are explained using mobile robots as a target. And we will consider about the future of this micro mechatronics field.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the principle of MEMS sensors
  2. Understand the application of robotic technologies
  3. Understand the role of MEMS sensors and robotic technologies in industrial application
