Cybathlon Challenge: Mechanism Design & Control

What it is about

In this laboratory you develop basic mechatronic modules of a transradial prosthesis in the context of the Cybathlon competition. In the end you will be able to design mechanical components, integrate sensors and actuators, implement control algorithms, and realize a team prototype up to demonstration and documentation.

What you will be able to do

• Mechanical construction in SolidWorks
• Design for static and dynamic loads
• Implementation of P/PI/PID controllers in MATLAB/Simulink
• Microcontroller-based control and readout of sensors/actuators
• Design of electronic circuits and PCB design with Eagle
• Project planning, coordination and team-oriented execution

What the module consists of

• Labor/PraktikumDevelopment of mechatronic modules and prototype construction
• GruppenarbeitTeam planning, coordination and joint project execution
• EinführungskurseProviding essential foundations for laboratory work

Teaching method

• EinführungskurseTeaching of theoretical and practical fundamentals at the beginning
• Selbständiges individuelles ArbeitenDeepening and implementation of personal tasks in the project
• Gruppenarbeit (beaufsichtigt und unbeaufsichtigt im Labor)Joint development and integration of modules in the team
