So.. Mechatronics or Robotics? and why?? 🤔💭

[@WildTech2028]

Robotics I think

[@WildTech2028]

Bro,can I become a robotics engineer without studying electrical and mechanical subjects? I like programming the most. Please answer my question ​

[@thetechninja_x]

​@@WildTech2028 You need a solid understanding of mechanical and electronics to start building robotics

[@ITSs_-ME129]

Hello I want to build humanoid robots war machines Even try iron man suit Which is best?? Mechatronics or Robotics

[@meissying]

@@ITSs_-ME129mechatronics

[@user-od4qf9qy2d]

Mechatronics cover all engineering fields thats why im gonna be a mechatronic engineer in future. If im mechatronic engineer i can also build robots i think😅. Thanks for the video ❤

[@EngineeringInsiders]

You can!! You can absolutely go into Robotics from a mechatronics engineering degree. BUT if it truly is robotics that you love, you should consider going into Robotics specific degree. There are pros and cons to both! 😎👍

[@rodrigoapaza8086]

I'm a 2nd year student of mechatronics. U won't regret it, U can gater experience and then decide wich way will u go. My path is automation, but there is also biomedics, control sytems, embeded & signals, and a long etc. WISH U LUCK

[@yourdaddywhowentobuymilk]

​@@rodrigoapaza8086I'm thinking of doing mechatronics how vast are the areas covered in it just wanted an idea

[@epicinternational3438]

I want to be too. But i believe it costs a lot to create something related to mechatronism

[@tiisetsorammego3053]

I'm still crying! Bro that's hard but I'll try to keep up but my advice is to check those who are doing it and get your headstart as I was only dependent on wikipedia and some few KZbin channels and I had only 3 weeks to get ready

[@tuckwaiyip9975]

I am shocked and amazed at how much average entry level mechatronics engineer made as my elder brother worked in the automation field specialized in PLC solution. As a comparision, here in Southeast Asia, Malaysia,a developing country is being absolutely underpaid(paid just shy with 3.2k at the beginning and with 4.15k at third year of experience) and often need to work over night(until dawn)in the country and not being appreciated. Hope to be able to work at US soon as i am also a mechatronics graduate, but managed to venture to electronics company at my first year (until this year May), but soon not able to continue after contract ended because of hiring freeze internally. Now i am trying to learn and becoming a software engineer as i already gave up on working in mechatronics field, it is generally underpaid, overwork and is a 3D(Dirty, Dangerous, Dull) job.

[@biber9979]

Do you know that there are other countries beside America. Did you hear about countries that are better than america on every possible way(Australia, Germany, France, Austria, Norway, Sweden). Cleaner, safer, more educated people on average, free healthcare, paid vacations, paid sick leaves, free universities. If you just obsessed with more money that you can make in America then you don't deserve to move anywhere.

I'm in zambia too though I'm computer engineer

[@AdnanAli-gm8dm]

What about control science and engineering? How is it different from or related to mechatronics and robotics?

[@EngineeringInsiders]

Put simply, Mechatronics and robotics engineers use control science engineering and apply it to mechatronics and robotics engineering applications. 👍

Can u please tell me which college did u get the course

[@marlinhicks]

I did undergrad in CS/IS I worked in IT/mobile device repair pretty much since 2011, then5 years in Identity Access Management and now I’m a data analyst in institutional research. Would Mechatronics be a sensible next move if I want to put these data and development skills to use with some engineering

[@ramrk9116]

No

[@ramrk9116]

Mechatronics is not what u think. If ur really interested to work in automation domain, try applying ml and dl for specific industrial applications. Mechatronics is totally out of what you have learnt so far. Even employers don't know what job to give for mechatronics engineer. Even professors in college aren't sure about mechatronics lessons. This degree for now is a big gamble. Hope things change in future

[@marlinhicks]

@@ramrk9116 hey meant to say thank you for the clarification!

[@entertainmentflix56]

You could just study a robotics and mechatronics engineering beng or meng at uni, it likea combined degree

[@alphaepsilon8097]

Mechatronics is more for indicisive and creative individuals with a little bit of perfectionism 😂

[@EngineeringInsiders]

Haha in a sense, definitely agree 😂There are a few "Jack of all trades" engineers and mechatronics might just be at the top of the list 🆙 I'd say perfectionist and especially creative goes for all engineers though 🤔 Thanks for the comment! 🙂

[@KIM-kz6is]

😮

[@Hemaldalemusic]

HEY Good Information! I love to take Mechatronics in degree in Abroad As i researched on Chat GPT, I got some details Here are they And What's your Opinion About These........... Yes, if you take Mechatronics Engineering, you can study all of these topics, including adaptive learning, machine learning, self-learning, reinforcement learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, transfer learning, deep learning, active learning, Bayesian learning, natural language processing, computer vision, generative adversarial networks, deep reinforcement learning, neural networks, Bayesian networks, decision trees, and support vector machines. Yes, I remember that you are interested in building a multipurpose humanoid robot with AI, self-learning, emotional learning, and adaptive learning capabilities. Given your interests, both Robotics Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering would be relevant degree programs to consider. Robotics Engineering will provide you with a strong foundation in the design, construction, and operation of robots, including machine learning and AI. This degree program will help you develop the necessary skills to design and build advanced robotic systems with AI capabilities. Mechatronics Engineering, on the other hand, will provide you with a broader set of skills, combining mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. This degree program will help you design and build complex systems that integrate multiple technologies, including robotics, control systems, and machine learning. Ultimately, both degree programs will be useful in helping you achieve your goal of building an advanced humanoid robot with AI, self-learning, emotional learning, and adaptive learning capabilities. It may be worth considering taking courses from both degree programs or combining them as a double major, depending on your university's offerings.

[@WildTech2028]

Bro,can I become a robotics engineer without studying electrical and mechanical subjects? I like programming the most. Please answer my question

[@oskarfjortoft]

specializing in software fields like machine learning, algorithm development, control systems, etc. makes it possible to work in a design team. but if you dont have an understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering it will vastly limit the scope of roles you can do. To be a "robotics engineer" and not a software engineer you need to also be competent in electrical and mechanical engineering in addition to programing

[@rodrigoflores8324]

What about Physics Engineer?

[@EngineeringInsiders]

What exactly are you curious about? Each engineering branch uses laws and theories from different physics branches 🔬🧪

[@rodrigoflores8324]

​@@EngineeringInsiders That's what I still don't get; it's a career named "Engineering physics" type of a career that doesn't aim to a specific set of branches and there are not much videos about it it's like if it is an ignored career

[@EngineeringInsiders]

​@@rodrigoflores8324 Doing some quick research here we see the degree, thanks for opening our eyes to this! It seems to be similar to an engineering degree but really focusing on the physics properties to come up with new technologies/ enhance current technologies that rely heavily on physical properties (obviously lol). Like Solar cells, physics-level of transistors, CCDs and similar. Again only looked into it for a few moments but it seems like you'll enter a career experimenting with devices/tech like above and have enough engineering knowledge to know about "competing" tech in the field and how it'll be used in different types of engineering applications. We'll make a "So You Want to Be" video about this field sometime hopefully soon so keep your eyes out! Thanks for the comment!

[@altaykaan]

If a person wanna earn high salary, engineering degree is not needed. Just being good technician is better and not risky because demand is higher and education time(+money) is lesser. Indeed every company say experience as important as "academical"education.

[@EngineeringInsiders]

No engineering degree is not needed! Although in our experience technicians are last to be hired and first to be fired in engineering companies. Thanks for the comment!

[@bskarthik05]

which field is required to build humanoid robots? mechatronics or robotics ?

[@EngineeringInsiders]

So, both are relevant. Robotics would be more directly applicable though 👍

Bro why 💀. My first year degree college will be starting in few months. And I have opted for BTech in Robotics and AI. You making me confused again 💀. Edit :- But wait, I just now saw a minor degree of Mechatronics, should I opt that minor? What do you say.

[@overlorddave4952]

I'm a robotics major at my uni, and I would definitely take that after your first year, mainly because the workload first year is usually intense.

[@HarshSharma-ri4kh]

@@overlorddave4952 I have options of honours too. such as i) Smart manufacturing ii) Computer aided engineering iii) Data Driven ANalytics. SO I will be choosing one of the honours instead of honours. I leaned more towards Data driven analytics. what would be your suggestion

[@overlorddave4952]

​@HarshSharma-ri4kh to be honest each of these are good. It truly depends on what you want to do in your career. Data driven analytics is a really good option because as of now it is in high demand. But if you want to get more hands on perhaps smart manufacturing would be a good fit. Overall if you ever want to switch to something else, you can ask your advisor, and they'll probably help you. If you have anymore questions, I'd be happy to help.
