Robotics

Hello,
Automation and Robotics Engineering is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in manufacturing.
PSG College of Technology has introduced the course in 2011 and it has become very popular in a short period of time.
The course has got more value and importance based on the current trends.
PSG is a reputed institute that offers good quality education with great infrastructure and it is known for its placements. for robotics also there are good placements, but the students opt for higher studies especially specializations in the field of robotics.
Some students have also got paid internship opportunities from the reputed foreign companies.
Some of the top companies that visit the campus for placements are:
Asimov Robotics, Robert Bosch Engineering Solutions, Hirotech Automation, Strategy Automation, Igarashi Motors and counting.
In addition to this, they have received internships from Bosch Rexroth-Germany, Taylor Engineering Services, Australia, Purdue University, USA and the list goes on.
The students are also eligible for getting jobs in IT sector that include, Cognizant, Infosys, Payoda, IBM, Accenture, TCS, etc.

Mechatronics is a multi-faceted field. It makes you a jack of many trades. For example, I have learned about motors, control systems, software development for making things autonomous, sensors and how to use them, electronic components and embedded hardware, kinematics, and dynamics of systems and CAD. So with this sort of knowledge, you fill roles where cross-platform expertise is demanded. A person who has some knowledge of other branches of engineering is always highly respected. You could specialise in control systems, and yet show how these can be integrated into the software side. Or you could propose how the control system can be implemented as hardware using digital electronics.
One of the biggest applications of mechatronics is robotics. Robotics could be a mix of hardware and software, like manipulator robotics, where the robot performs a certain task using hardware/ manipulators, or it could be highly software-oriented, like machine learning, where the purpose is to analyse data to make decisions.
