Introduction to Mechatronics Engineering and Its Role in Modern Robotics
Event Title: Introduction to Mechatronics Engineering and Its role in Modern Robotics
Organized By: IEEE-MSIT RAS X PES Chapter
Date & Time: October 13, 2026 | 06:00 PM – 07:00 PM
Format: Online via Google Meet
IEEE RAS MSIT is pleased to present a webinar on “Introduction to Mechatronics and Its Role in Modern Robotics”.
Every modern robot, drone, automated factory line or smart device is built on one idea: mechanics, electronics and software working together as a single system. That idea is called mechatronics. As robotics and automation grow rapidly, understanding this integration has become a valuable foundation for any engineering student.
This session will introduce mechatronics from the ground up. It will explain how sensors collect information, how microcontrollers process it and how actuators turn decisions into motion. The speaker will also walk through the practical tools and platforms used to build such systems, including ESP32, Arduino and STM32 boards, circuit and PCB design, IoT-based development and 3D CAD prototyping. The session will also look at real applications such as drones and UAVs, and show how a beginner can start building projects with a clear learning path.
Whether you are from ECE, CSE, mechanical or any other branch, this webinar will help you understand where mechatronics fits in the robotics world and how to begin your own journey in it.
What You Will Learn
- What mechatronics is and how it connects mechanical, electronic and software domains
- The sensing, processing and actuation flow behind robotic systems
- Role of microcontrollers (ESP32, Arduino, STM32) and sensor interfacing
- Basics of circuit design, PCB design and IoT-based systems
- Prototyping and design using 3D CAD tools
- Applications in drones, UAVs and automation
- How to start with hands-on projects and build practical skills
Who Should Attend
- Students of all branches and years interested in robotics, electronics and automation
- Beginners with no prior experience (the session starts from the basics)
- Members and aspirants of technical clubs and chapters
