Mechatronics is an exciting discipline that combines knowledge and skills from mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. Mechatronics engineers design systems such as robots, unmanned aircraft, bionic implants, and energy harvesters. Automated robotic manufacturing is a great example of mechatronics in action.
A computer processes information from various sensors on the robot and controls the forces that make it move. By designing these systems, mechatronics engineers can accomplish a huge range of tasks from building complex things, like cars, aircraft, and phones to creating a simple drawing. Mechatronics is an exciting field of innovation with great opportunities. Visit the University of Newcastle website to find out more.
