r/mechatronics

Hello, I am a mechatronics student and I have this project I need to do for a motor RPM reductor. The professor told us to use AutoCAD Inventor for the design and calculation, but I simply don't have the space on my PC to download it. I was wondering if anyone knew a good alternative that maybe doesn't take 100GB of space.

I start a Mechatronics program at my current technical college next month. Not much maintenance or troubleshooting experience. Does this look like a good apprenticeship to apply for while in school? Not sure if it will or won’t help me in the long run. Does anyone have any experience in this role with Cintas?

I'm developing my own QQD robotic actuator and plan to sell them if they're well-received. I was wondering what the biggest issues people have right now are. I know lower-cost and more reliable or cheaper options for FOC control would be nice, but is there anything else? Any personal experiences would be especially helpful.

Also, if you don't mind telling me your position, like if you're a student, hobbyist, or something else, just to contextualize it, that would be awesome!

Hi everyone, I’m feeling pretty confused about which to choose. I want to build cool stuff like robots, drones, and projects with intricate moving parts. I love the idea of designing the physical components, but I also want them to actually do things (like Michael Reeves and Styropyro).

I'm currently leaning more to Mechatronics as I've heard Mechatronics is aa mix of mechanical, electronics and software engineering Which degree is better for me should I go for Mechanical or Mechatronics?

Do these two correlate pretty well? And what can I do with it? Also how about for innovation and entrepreneurship?

I am interesting in both and I honestly wouldn’t be disappointed in either but I don’t know which one to choose for an undergraduate degree. Which one would be most beneficial for me in the long run? I was initially planning on pursuing aerospace as masters but would it be wise to also take it as a bachelor?

Hello

I am mechatronics engineering graduate (2024) from Egypt, i currently work as a sales engineer in building automation field.

I really need to enrich my knowledge and join a diploma / course / masters program

But the point is I don’t where to start from . I am very interested in rebotics too and i have a solid background on it .

I want to engage this interest with automation.

Chatgpt told me to start with embedded system / iot and then moving to bms . Idk if this is thw right start ,

If someone have the been through the same please give your advice

I don’t mind traveling in the future
