tutorial sessions in weeks 4-6. You should spend approximately one hour preparing for each of these tutorials so that you can benefit fully from them.

3.          The tutors will not assist you further unless you can provide real evidence

you have attempted the questions prior to the tutorials. Beyond the tutorial sessions, it is estimated that you will need two to three hours to complete the assignment (7-8 hours total).

4.          You may discuss the assignment with your peers, however all written work submitted for assessment must be strictly your own.

5.          All work must be completed electronically (typed) including all diagrams.

6.          There will be 100 marks assigned for the assignment.

Assignment Submission

1.          Submit your assignment electronically as a PDF file via the “Assignments” page on the MTRX1701 Canvas site.

2.          The assignment is due at 11:59 pm, Monday 25 March (end of week 6).

3.          Late submission will be penalised by deducting 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date. Zero will be awarded after ten calendar days late.

4.          Submit early enough to ensure that your submission is processed by 11:59 pm.

Context of the Assignment

As we have seen in lectures, many mechatronic systems comprise multiple sub-systems which interact to achieve some goal. These systems often include sensors, actuators and control elements that are designed to work together. Feedback from the sensors is used by the control system to determine appropriate actions for the actuators.  In this assignment, we will be working on understanding the basic mechatronic elements that comprise a simple line-following robot, shown in Figure 1. Your tutors should have the line following robot kits available for you to collect during your tutorial session. You may keep this kits and will need ALL of the components in the kits later in
