    The main objective of this paper is to present an innovative approach in project-based learning for an elective course: Fundamentals of mechatronics systems. The course is designed for 3rd year mechanical engineering students from various study programs. Implementing a project-based syllabus of an undergraduate course in mechatronics is a challenging task as it combines knowledge from mechanical engineering, computer science, electronics and control systems. The project based learning is presented through student projects inspired by the kinetic sculptures, which combines the mechatronics with the creative side of the art. By creating a project based on kinetic sculptures, the students were assigned to design and create moving smart structures with integrated microcontrollers using the Arduino online platform. Arduino is an inexpensive, straightforward and surprisingly powerful platform for implementation of algorithms in order to create real projects. The purpose of this paper is to present a successful methodology for teaching mechatronics by developing goal-oriented student projects based on open source platform within this course in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Skopje. The structure, organization and evaluation of the course are explained, while the results indicate that our course structure provides an effective means for learning mechatronics.

    This paper focuses on the design and development of a bio-inspired mobile robot using piezoelectric transducers as drives. The design of the device aimed to imitate the trajectory movement of a crawl-like animal. Design constraints as producing controlled movement with piezoelectric transducer, as well as the combination of multiple piezoelectric patches into one mobile robot are presented in their practical aspects. The robot uses 2 piezoelectric transducers as main drives, but also as main structural components of the device. The patches are connected with a thin light rod, and the kinematic of movement is achieved with 4 tiny wooden legs connected on each of the patches. The project investigates the possibility and effectiveness of the piezoelectric transducers for movement of the bio-inspired mobile robot. From conceptual development, to the mechanical and numerical design and control, the mobile robot is used to test different trajectories of movement. Ni RIO Evaluation kit has been incorporated as a real-time and FPGA control platform for the mobile robot while using LabView programing environment. To accomplish complex trajectories of movement the velocity of the robot was measured for straight line and rotation of the robot. Mathematical model is built and analyzed through SimMechanics module in Matlab.
