Why the future is mechatronic

Mechatronics blends mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems, and computing into one intelligent system. Without it, self-parking cars, smart thermostats, and precision robotics simply won’t work reliably in the real world. This blend of mechanical systems, electronics and software has blurred the lines between traditional engineering disciplines, especially with the rapid and ongoing development of artificial intelligence.

Dr. Hoe Seng Ooi, Chief Technology Officer at Taipei-based NexAIoT, thinks that mechatronics is the key to unlocking “physical AI” on the street and in our homes, and he joins Jim Anderton on the podcast to explain why.
