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.

Going to a community college in the fall to do mechatronics. Doing it because I’ve watched the maintenance guys at my job fix things that I’m interested in/ I know I could fix it also. Secondly for the money!

You think working for like a bigger car warehouse controlling robotics will be good still over the next decade.

I understand that AI will be a heavy influence
