This course covers theory and experiments on motor control systems, electrical filters,
amplifiers, structural resonance and vibration. These topics are important for building robots,
mechatronic devices, and structures. These systems will be described by linear, ordinary,
differential equations. Key goals of the class are to use these equations to predict, understand,
and control the behavior of machines, and to design, build, and test a robotic device as a final
project.

For laboratory write-ups and data acquisition.
Laboratory Location: Engineering Gateway 2101 & 2102
Laboratory times: See eee.uci.edu
Laboratory Exercises: Handouts that describe the experiments are available on the course
website. You can also ask the TA for help when you are confused. Be creative, explore, and
have fun in the lab. This is your opportunity to build things that move and see how they work.
Pre-lab assignments: You will have to answer a few questions pertaining to the lab to be performed.
Lab Practical Exams: You will have to demonstrate working experiments in lab to get credit
for the lab.
Lab Write-Up: Each student will be required to turn in a brief write-up for the lab. The
write-up must be typed. You must use a computer-graphing program (e.g. Matlab, Microsoft
Excel, Python) for all graphs. Include your name and laboratory time in the write-up. Zero
credit if you don’t do this!
You must always wear pants and closed toe shoes while in the lab. You will not be allowed to enter
the lab otherwise.
Final Project
Design
Content
Description:
There will be a final project competition involving the design and head-to-head testing of a
robotic device. The final project first round tournament will take place in your lab section,
and the final tournament for the lab champions will take place on the last scheduled day of
lecture. There will also be a write-up due on that day.
This course requires solution of design problems related to control and vibration, as well as
design and construction of a robotic device for the final project.

Midterms: There will be two midterm exams that will cover material from the lecture as well
as the labs exercises. Bring 1 Scantron Form F-288 from UCI Bookstore or ZotNGo.
Practical exams: Grading for Lab practical exams will be on a 0 to 3 scale.
Pre-lab assignments, post-lab write ups, and homework assignments are ALL due during
the first 10 minutes of your lab section. No late assignments will be graded without a valid
reason. These assignments will also be graded on a 0 to 3 scale.
No make ups without notification in advance and a valid reason.
Make up labs will need to be scheduled in advance.
Score on plagiarized assignment = 0 first time; fail course second time
