69489	Lecture	AL3	2:00PM -2:50PM	MWF	4100 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Bentsman, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Signal Processing Section Info: This course is for graduate students interested in reinforcing their modeling, signal analysis, instrumentation, and control techniques through solving a challenging industrial problem. Namely, an electrohydraulic-actuator/flexible-beam assembly exhibiting resonance will be introduced, and the sequence of course topics will be integrated into a tool set capable of suppressing this resonance. A high fidelity MATLAB model of an assembly will be used as a virtual lab to carry out the project tasks and help develop problem solution, the likes of which are currently employed in industry. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Not intended for ZJUI program students.

This course introduces essential concepts of robotics control and simulation through hands-on software engineering practices. Students will master fundamental principles of rigid body mechanics, numerical integration methods, and robotic system modeling while developing industry-standard software skills. The curriculum covers kinematics and dynamics of robotic systems, sensor fusion, actuator modeling, robot-environment interactions, and advanced algorithms for modern robotics applications. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.

This course will explore emerging paradigms in soft robotics, covering topics of design, fabrication, materials, mechanics, control methods, and applications. Students will develop a foundational understanding of commonly used sensing (e.g., electrical, optical, magnetic) and actuation (e.g., electrical, pneumatic, thermal) mechanisms, along with material selection and design principles grounded in classical mechanics. Applications discussed will include bio-inspired robots, wearable systems, surgical devices, implantable actuators, etc. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
