Course Goal / Objective

Engineering and academic research problems involve situations where interdisciplinary knowledge is needed rather than a single specialization. In addition; especially the solution of most of the problems in technological agricultural machinery; it needs information in the form of a mixture of mechanical, electronic and information technologies. When taken generally; It is aimed to investigate the fundamentals of mechatronics, which is a branch of mechanical, electronic, informatics and automatic control sciences, and its applications in agricultural machinery.

Course Content

Mechatronic System, Measurement Systems, Control System Definitions, The Functions of Sensors and Transducers, Sensor Types, Signal Processing, Measurement Systems, Pneumatic, Hydraulic, Mechanical and Electric Drive Systems. Basic tools and their functions used in mechatronics. Computer and control in mechatronics, perception in mechatronics. Introduction of special mechatronics software. Design examples for past and future in mechatronics.
