Mechatronics project suggestions please

AI Thread Summary
Mechatronics engineering students are seeking project suggestions for their third year, with a focus on robotics as a promising area. Key considerations include the type of robot to design, its functionalities, and the time commitment for the project. One student is currently working on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) using LabVIEW and an Xbox controller for user interface. Engaging with an engineering firm for a project can provide valuable experience. Choosing a fun and interesting project can enhance learning and enjoyment in the course.

Welcome to the PF. Since mechatronics involves many disciplines, it would seem like robotics or something similar might be a good area:

What areas of mechatronics interest you? EE Times actually has a big spread on robotics in its current issue:

What kind of robot? What will it be able to do? What are your goals, and how many hours do you plan to put into the project?
 
I am currently working on my bachelor thesis in mechatronics. We are making an rov and will be designing, constructing and programming it using labview. The plan is to use an xbox controller as the UI.

If you can get a assignment from an engineering firm you are off to a good start (on your carrier).

If you are free to do what ever you like, within the course, I'd suggest you do something fun :)
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
