    Sample Mechatronics Lab Report

    Jane D. Doe Deepin Powder Kam K. Leang University of Nevada, Reno ME 422/622 Mechatronics (Intro to Robotics), February 9, 2009

    Introduction

    The introduction briey outlines the objectives of the experiment and why the experiment is important. Also, the introduction includes an example or application of the information discussed in the experiment. A brief summary of the results should also be presented. Keep this section brief and to the point.

    Methods and Procedures

    The objectives of this section are to: (i) discuss the hypothesis and/or relevant theoretical aspects of the experiment, (ii) present the critical procedures of the experiment, and (iii) describe the experimental setup. If gures and diagrams are required in your explanation, place them in the appendix and refer to them. Include and explain equations; for example, this is an expression for the output of a hysteretic system, v (t) =
    P+ (t)

    (, )dd
    P (t)

    (, )dd = 2
    P+ (t)

    (, )dd
    P

    (, )dd.

    (1)

    where (, ) is the weighting function, and P denotes the Preisach plane. Explain the terms in the equation. Equations should be appropriately numbered, as shown above, and reference should be made to equations during the discussion. No results should be included in this section.

    Results and Discussion

    This is one of the most important sections. Please discuss and evaluate critically the experimental results and what you have learned. The results should be compared to expected, theoretical, or published results. Discrepancies should be noted, and reasons for the discrepancies explained. Furthermore, trends in the results should be discussed. Answer questions about the experiment presented in the laboratory worksheet. Make appropriate references to gures, diagrams, graphs, tables, charts, etc., in the appendix.

    Conclusions

    Briey summarize the experiment and results. Explain what you have learned. If applicable, suggest recommendations for future improvement.

    Appendix

    All your gures, tables, graphs, sample computer programs, raw data, and results are placed in this section. Properly label all information, and if a derivation is included, please explain your logic and procedures. Here is an example gure. Notice how it is appropriately labelled. A brief caption should be included to describe the gure.

    Figure 1: A simple relay, with up switching value and down switching value . The input is denoted by u, and the relay takes on two states: +1 and 1, depending on the state of the input u.

    NOTE: The written part of the report, i.e., Introduction, Methods and Procedures, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions, should not exceed two (2) pages!! Appendix length is unlimited, however, it should be concise.
