Mechatronics, an Interdisciplinary Support for Robotics

Development of advanced robotic systems involve the capability of exploiting a wide range of different experiences which are conventionally assigned to mechanical, electrical and electronic engineers. Mechatronics is defined as a multidisciplinary science bridging between different competences. For this reason, mechatronics labs offer a fundamental support in developing autonomous robotics systems especially for what concerns unconventional or innovative propulsion systems, sensors and power management systems. In this work author summarizes some of the most significant activities of the mechatronics labs and courses aiming to support the development of innovative autonomous systems at Florence University.https://youtu.be/yDAx0owd8p
