The complexity of these systems require extensive programming and maintenance, further extending the cost.
In 2006, it was being jointly conducted by the University of Sydney's Australian Centre for Field Robotics, the University of Technology, Sydney's Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems Group, and the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Systems.
The Mechatronics Institute (IMTRONICS) is responsible for the promotion of research and services for innovative applications in areas of Micromechanics, Materials, Nanomaterials, Nanostructures, Information and Telematic Systems, Robotics and control Systems, Embedded Systems and Sensors and Biomechatronics.
Chairman of the IFAC CC 4 on Mechatronics, Robotics and Components and member of the IFAC Technical Board
A group of Eleven Engineering students from Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Mechatronics Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering, named as Pak-Wheelers, from E&ME College of NUST participated in the Shell Eco-marathon Asia in July 2010 with their Hybrid Car.
The results of the survey released in Zeit-Studienführer 2010/2011 stated that the course Drives Systems and Mechatronics in Künzelsau Campus scored excellently in eight out of ten examined criteria.
The Center will primarily focus in such areas as sustainable chemistry, mechatronics, information and communication technology, and sustainable energy resources, which are a substantial part of the Lithuanian economy and comprise a significant part of its export.
