Essential challenges in motion control education

Abstract

Smart mechatronic systems and applications with actively controlled moving elements face increasing demands on size, motion speed, precision, adaptability, self-diagnostic, connectivity, new cognitive features, etc. Fulfillllment of these requirements is essential for building smart, safe and reliable production complexes. This, however, implies completely new demands on control curricula of master degree students. The aim of this paper is to identify main gaps in motion control education and industrial practice with speci c focus on multi- disciplinarity, i.e., contribute to a STEM education ecosystem
