Mechatronics project suggestions please

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on project suggestions for third-year mechatronics engineering students. Key recommendations include focusing on robotics, particularly designing and programming robots. One participant is currently developing a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) using LabVIEW and an Xbox controller for user interface. Engaging with engineering firms for assignments is also advised to enhance career prospects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of robotics principles
  • Familiarity with LabVIEW programming
  • Knowledge of user interface design
  • Basic project management skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced robotics design techniques
  • Explore LabVIEW for robotics applications
  • Investigate user interface design best practices
  • Look into partnerships with engineering firms for project opportunities
USEFUL FOR

Mechatronics engineering students, robotics enthusiasts, and professionals seeking project ideas or collaboration opportunities in mechatronics and robotics.

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 :)
