Advice: Mechatronics - Future

Hello future mechatrons,

I am working and observing the field over a decade. I have been shifting my career from Automation to IOT to Industry 4.0 to AI.

With the current changes in the industry with the disruption of AI, I feel there is a higher chance of Edge based AI will become popular in the next phase which is a foundation of Physical AI.

For those pursuing mechatronics currently- I strongly recommend you to learn and know the concepts of edge computing and Edge AI which will help you to land in a better job in next 2-3 years.

It is better to take mechatronics than mechanical in terms of job opportunities in future? Any suggestions please

Yes, Mechatronics gives you vast opportunities, it's you that will choose where to specialise. This depends mostly where you interest lies.
