Dr. Brahmi Chihab Eddine

Instructor of Mechanical Systems

Mechanical Systems is a fundamental engineering course designed for third-year undergraduate students in the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Design program. The course introduces the fundamental principles governing the motion, interaction, and operation of mechanical components and systems.

Throughout the course, students will study mechanisms, kinematic analysis, motion transmission, and mechanical components. The course combines theoretical concepts with practical engineering applications to develop a clear understanding of mechanical systems used in robotics, automation, manufacturing, and other modern engineering fields.

The main objective of this course is to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and analytical skills required to understand, model, and analyze mechanical systems. By the end of the course, students should be able to interpret the behavior of mechanisms and apply appropriate engineering principles to practical problems.
