Smart mecatronics systems
Goals
Nowadays, the mechanical systems are more and more often replaced by mechatronic systems. These "intelligent" systems combine mechanical, electronic, control theory and embedded information technologies. Initially coming from a rather high technology fields (as aerospace for example), today they take an important place in the product proposed to regular consumer market. The design of mechatronic systems requires a multidisciplinary approach between Mechanics and electrical Engineer professions. The main goal of this course is to understand this approach, the important elements of different implied fields and illustrate it on an active vibration control example.

Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
The course focuses on several examples of intelligent mechatronic systems where intelligence is precisely integrated to reduce the carbon footprint during the production and operation of these systems. For example, we address the issue of active vibration control of lightweight mechanical structures in the field of ground transportation or aeronautics. Lighter structures mean lower fuel consumption, but they are also more susceptible to vibration. In order to limit these vibrations without adding extra material and therefore weight, we can resort to active vibration control.
