Engineering Quantitative Methods (EQM) I is designed for students to gain mastery in integrating technical knowledge with analytical skills in real-world contexts. The primary goal of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive experience that spans from theoretical foundations to practical applications in engineering. Topics include: Principles, modeling, interfacing and signal conditioning of motion sensors and actuators; acquire and analyze data and interact with operators. Basic electronic devices, embedded microprocessor systems and control, power transfer components and mechanism design. hardware-in-the-loop simulation and rapid prototyping of real-time closed-loop computer control of electromechanical systems; modeling, analysis and identification of discrete-time or samples-data dynamic systems; commonly used digital controller design methods; introduction to nonlinear effects and their compensation in mechatronic systems; robotic manipulation and sensing; obstacle avoidance and motion planning algorithms; mobile robots, use of vision in navigation systems.
