Teaching

MCE 484 - Aerial Robotics

Undergraduate course, AYBÜ, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2025

This course introduces students to the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of aerial robotic systems, particularly Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) platforms such as quadrotors. Topics include modeling of aerial vehicles, 3D state and rotation representations, control techniques, motion planning algorithms, and state estimation methods using probabilistic filters.

MCE 449 - Mechatronics Components and Instrumentation

Undergraduate course, AYBÜ, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2024

This course introduces students to fundamental mechatronic components and instrumentation techniques used in modern engineering systems. Topics include sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, data acquisition, and control using microcontrollers. The course culminates in a hands-on term project involving real-time control of an unstable mechanical system.

MCE 564 - Robotic Perception

Graduate course, AYBÜ, Mechanical Engineering, 2024

This course introduces perception techniques for autonomous mobile robots, with a focus on how to process data from sensors like IMUs, cameras, and lidars for tasks such as orientation estimation, mapping, and navigation.

MCE 309 - System Dynamics and Control

Undergraduate course, AYBÜ, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2024

This course introduces undergraduate mechanical engineering students to the fundamental concepts of system dynamics and control. It covers mathematical modeling of physical systems, transient and steady-state response analysis, and basic controller design methods. The emphasis is placed on linear systems and their control using classical techniques such as PID tuning, root locus, and frequency response methods.
