Description

Combining a detailed understanding of mechanics and kinetics with electronics and computing, mechatronics is a dynamic and highly productive research area.

Monash's robotics and vision work is known the world over, especially for combining sophisticated computer algorithms with multiple types of sensor on novel hardware platforms, to create robots that are able to understand their environment in a way that they can make intelligent decisions when given new tasks to perform.

There are robots equipped with 360-degree vision, laser rangers, 360-degree sonar and odour sensors. Robots can assist the aged by interpreting their gestures, navigate through disaster sites, burrow underground, rescue divers, fly through the air, swarm like ants, generate maps, interpret changes and build up knowledge of the environment.
