Robotics Engineering

There are two ways to join as a lateral entry student in PSG College of Technology:
1. After Diploma, you can apply thro' TNEA counseling, which will be conducted at Alagappa Chettiyar University, Karaikudi. Counseling call depends on your diploma final year percentage. If you received a call for the first day counseling or topped with a rank of at least below 10, you're almost have a chance to get a seat at PSG Tech.
Your final year percentage should be more than 96 if you're a general category applicant. For BC/MBC it should be more than 94%. For SCA/SC/ST more than 92 is enough.
2. Through management quota. Fees for this entry may depends on the branch of engineering. It may varies from 5 to 10lakh Rupees donation. Other state students can join with PSG Tech through this quota.
Applications for lateral entry admissions will be issued at all Government engineering colleges in all districts. During mid of May month application issue starts. For SC/ST student's application is free, if you submit attested copy of your community certificate.

In simple words, all robotic systems are mechatronic systems. But, all mechatronic systems aren't robotic systems.
Mathematically, robotics is the subset of mechatronics set.
Robotics is a specific branch of mechatronics that requires the knowledge of,
Dynamic system modeling and analysis
Control engineering
Signal conditioning
Sensors and actuators
Hardware interface
Path programming
Kinematics and so on.
As you can see, even a mechatronic system requires the above-mentioned elements. However, it differs from a robotic system in terms of functionality and the use case. For example, coffee vending machine, airplane, washing machine, automobile, etc. are all mechatronic systems, which belong to different use cases. However, robots are unique in terms of their functionality and use case.
