Block Course
This two-week block course is scheduled from September 9 to 13 and 16 to 20, 2013. Jim Freudenberg Professor and Director of Systems Laboratory at the University of Michigan will lecture.
Abstract
This course provides a comprehensive overview of embedded control systems. The concepts introduced are implemented and verified on a microprocessor-controlled haptic device.
Objective
Familiarize students with main architectural principles and concepts of embedded control systems.
Content
An embedded system is a microprocessor used as a component in another piece of technology, such as cell phones or automobiles. In this intensive two-week block course the students are presented the principles of embedded digital control systems using a haptic device as an example for a mechatronic system. A haptic interface allows for a human to interact with a computer through the sense of touch.
Subjects covered in lectures and practical lab exercises include:
• The application of C-programming on a microprocessor
• Digital I/O and serial communication
• Quadrature decoding for wheel position sensing
• Queued analog-to-digital conversion to interface with the analog world
• Pulse width modulation
• Timer interrupts to create sampling time intervals
• System dynamics and virtual worlds with haptic feedback
• Introduction to rapid prototyping
