Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around suggestions for third-year mechatronics projects, with a focus on potential areas within mechatronics such as robotics. Participants share their interests and project ideas, exploring various aspects of design and implementation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks suggestions for mechatronics projects, indicating a need for guidance.
  • Another participant suggests that robotics could be a suitable area for projects, prompting further inquiry into specific interests.
  • Questions are raised about the type of robot being designed, its capabilities, and the goals of the project.
  • A participant shares their current work on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for their bachelor thesis, detailing the use of LabVIEW and an Xbox controller for the user interface.
  • There is a suggestion that obtaining an assignment from an engineering firm could provide valuable experience.
  • Participants express the idea that pursuing enjoyable projects could enhance the learning experience.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants appear to agree on the relevance of robotics within mechatronics projects, but specific project ideas and approaches remain varied and unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about project scope and requirements are not fully articulated, and there is a lack of consensus on the specific types of projects that would be most beneficial.

Who May Find This Useful

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 :)
