A future-oriented combination of methods and tools of individual engineering disciplines
Mechatronics is still a relatively young, interdisciplinary discipline which combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering/electronics and computer science. Today, mechatronic systems are an integral part of industry and everyday life; they are used in airbags, CD and DVD players, photocopiers, driving simulators, ABS and industrial robots.
It plays a central role in Industry 4.0, where Germany has a leading international position in the manufacturing industry.
