Mechatronic energy converters

Mechatronic energy converters are one of the most promising areas of technological development, located at the intersection of electromechanics, electronics and programming. Specialists are prepared to solve "propulsion" problems for a wide range of tasks: from electric cars and electric scooters to robotic manufacturing, from medical instruments to exoskeletons and engine control systems for quadcopters.

You will learn about the application of electric motors and electric drives, servo controllers, motion controllers, microcontrollers, as well as programming environments and techniques.

As a result, you will become an engineer able to design devices that will move accurately, faster, and more energy-efficiently than existing ones. Throughout the course, you will learn how to solve real-world problems, for example, direct the light of a servo-controlled spotlight by rotating your smartphone in your hands. This is an example of a simple lab assignment.

Key competencies

  • Programming of control systems
  • Creating intelligent devices and the ability to connect them into a single network
  • Designing mechatronic products
  • Ability to convert "electricity" into real mechanical movements with a given speed and accuracy
  • Understanding the complete cycle of creating a modern smart product
  • Applying a set of principles for rapid prototyping of devices of the future

Resources

The training is based on the Microprocessor Control Systems Laboratory, which actively works on projects for industrial partners in the field of mechatronic devices. Graduates of the laboratory have been hired by major Moscow companies engaged in the development and production of medical devices, industrial robotics, and mobile robotic devices.
