Abstract

Recently, many studies on educational system are conducted. In this paper, a unique educational experiment system is proposed for undergraduate students to be able to efficiently learn basic mechatronics techniques. The system is composed of three subsystems. The first subsystem is used to learn input/output port operations, periodically LED lights ON/OFF and a stepping motor control. The second subsystem is effective to learn AD transformation for several sensor information, DA transformation for DC motor control and a PID control method. Further, the third subsystem is designed by using a robot arm with four-DOFs to learn PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control of a DC motor and force control of an end-effector. The effectiveness of the proposed system was confirmed through experimental instructions in Tokyo University of Science, Yamaguchi.
