Imagine your possibilities
Robotics
Robots are the most commonly recognized mechatronic systems. Companies and organizations throughout the world use robots in a variety of applications ranging from manufacturing and automation to healthcare applications such as performing sophisticated surgery.
Defense Applications
Your future might include working for the defense industry in developing unmanned flying objects, remote operated rescue robots, or an application of sensors to help unmanned driving of military ground vehicles.
Mechatronic Systems
Mechatronic systems are everywhere. Today’s automobile mechatronic system features include cruise control, antilock braking, sensors to detect objects during reversing and engine control to name a few. Automotive industry leaders agree that the next generation of automobiles will take advantage of interdisciplinary engineering. Today, cutting edge development rules the world of hybrid and electric-hybrid vehicles.
Assistive Technology
Detroit Mercy remains a leader in assistive technology for disabled veterans and individuals. Students develop prosthetics and other devices that improve the quality of life of individuals with disabilities and represents a thriving area for mechatronic and robotic applications.
