Teaching mechatronics by means of Stewart platforms

Mechatronics is a multifaceted discipline that combines a broad spectrum of knowledge and techniques, posing significant challenges in teaching. It is applied in various fields, including aeronautics, robotics, medical equipment, automotive applications, and flight simulators, among others. By utilizing Stewart platforms designed and constructed by our research team, we integrate mechanics, electronics, and control from both theoretical and practical perspectives.This paper presents an innovative theoretical-practical approach to effectively teach mechatronics to engineering students.
