Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the operating principles of numerical control mechanisms, robotic systems, and flow control units (hydraulic-pneumatic) used in industrial production and automation processes. Students are expected to gain the ability to analyze and solve problems related to open and closed-loop control systems, PID algorithms, conveyor lines, and robotic automation integration.

Course Content

Introduction to automation and control theory, open and closed-loop systems. Fundamentals and architecture of numerical control. PID controller structure and industrial applications. Robotic automation, robot kinematics, and motion planning. Design and synchronization of conveyor systems. Structure of industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems, numerical/electromechanical control of valves and cylinders. Fundamentals of sensors, actuators, motor drivers (motion control), and industrial communication (SCADA, PLC integration).
