All Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering

Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering gathers the two branches of electrical engineering most explicitly defined by combining mechanical, electrical, and computer or software disciplines into a single multidisciplinary practice, rather than a single domain specialty. Robotics engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the conception, design, manufacturing, and operation of robots, drawing primarily from mechanical, electrical, software, and artificial intelligence engineering so that engineers can design robots to function reliably and safely in real world scenarios requiring complex mechanical movement, real time control, and adaptive decision making. Mechatronics engineering, also simply called mechatronics, is the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer systems, employing mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science and engineering, and by its own definition includes a combination of robotics, computer science, telecommunications, systems, control, automation, and product engineering. Automation, the broad set of technologies that reduce human intervention in a process by predetermining decision criteria and embodying them in machines through mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer means, is the shared underlying discipline both robotics and mechatronics apply to physical systems.
