Introduction
Mechatronics and Robotics
A printer, smart phone, air temperature thermostat, refrigerator with digital management mechanism, smart washing machine, robot grass trimmer, or vacuum cleaners - all of these are mechatronics and robotics engineers' products that we encounter with on a daily basis. These gadgets and devices facilitate household chores and are used as integral parts of the most advanced technical systems, medical equipment, warfare manufacture, production.
It is mechatronics and robotics specialists, who have made the greatest input to the fourth manufacturing revolution, the result of which is the decreasing demand for human workforce. Humans are being replaced by machines and robots, which make independent decisions and are able to organize work, while the human performs only a supervising function.
Mechatronics and robotics is the science that unifies all major engineering directions: mechanics, electronics, electrotechnics, automatics, informatics.
The aim of this study programme is to prepare versatile specialists, who are able to do technological, organizational, construction and mechatronic as well as robotic systems exploitation, digital production supervision engineering and expertise-advisory work. In the course of studies students acquire knowledge of IT and programming.
A vacuum cleaner may be just a mechanical machine, but it also may be an electronically run robot. It vacuum cleans a room independently of the human and avoids obstacles with the help of electric impulses, thus, choosing the necessary trajectories. The artificial intellect that operates the robot is developed by mechatronics and robotics specialists. These mechatronic mechanical systems much facilitate human lives.
