Mechatronics course


This week we have had a pleasure to have a visiting teacher Jussi Romppanen in our Derpartment of Teacher Education, Rauma Unit. Our second year craft and technology teacher students have studied very intensively mechatronics and programming in the guidance of Mr Romppanen. Last Week I prepared the students in my lecture by different examples related to the topic. One of the very interesting and exhilarating masters of technology and form related to the topic is Theo Jansen, a  Dutch artist who is known about building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own. But now we have been able to study and work out with Arduino microcontrollers. Our students have been training to encode these devices. Today in the last mechatronics session they constructed and programmed their own robots or robot arms…
