Mechatronics Revolution — The Mechatronics Revolution is upon us. Never before has it been easier to build robotic devices and computer-controlled machines. The confluence of low-cost embedded computers, sensors, and actuators has made experimentation and prototyping easier than ever. Course modules will explore the mechatronics design process, fundamentals of microcontrollers, embedded systems programming, actuator control, and sensor interfacing. The mechatronics lab kit, TI-RSLK-Mechkit, provides a robotic device that is simple to use, build, and test. Through several hands-on labs, you will solidify your knowledge of core mechatronics concepts and gain real-world experience building your own mechatronic systems. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be equipped with the fundamental knowledge you need to harness the Mechatronics Revolution. Required prerequisite(s): Familiarity with basic circuits and circuit components Familiarity with Programming in one of either C, MATLAB, or Python
