Mechatronics/Mechanical Engineering Student Presentation

From a showcase on the practical applications of mechatronics in inspiring accessible engineering solutions through a robotic arm demonstration, to lunar engineering and exploring the challenges of extreme environment and soil conditions on the design of a lunar excavator.

This technical lecture explores the breadth of engineering through two project presentations by students from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), showcasing the application of mechanical and mechatronics engineering principles to practical challenges.

The first presentation showcases how mechatronics can inspire more accessible engineering solutions, featuring a robotic arm demonstration controlled through wrist movements using an ESP32. The second explores lunar engineering, investigating the challenges that extreme environmental conditions and lunar soil properties present in the design of a lunar excavator.

Together, these presentations offer insight into the application of engineering theory, design, and problem-solving to real challenges.

There's a seat for you. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in Q&A, engaging with the engineering concepts underpinning both projects and exploring the wide range of mechanical and mechatronics engineering.

Refreshments will be available from 30 minutes before the advertised start time.
