| The Mechanical Systems Laboratory The lab is used for three closely related areas of learning: dynamic system, robotics and automation, and machine components. It houses 10 experimental set-ups in mechanisms, machine systems, and robotics including apparatus for experiments on vibrations of machine systems (natural response, step response, frequency response, resonance, etc.), gear mechanisms (train value, rigid vs. flexible machine, etc.) and balancing of rotors as well as the experiments with various displacement sensors to measure beam deflection and calculate beam stiffness; to measure backlash existed in mechanical joints and motion system; to measure motion errors in mechanical systems of various components. Several educational robot manipulators and Lego-based mobile platforms are included.
