What tasks do mechatronics specialists do?

There are many tasks mechatronic specialists perform, depending on their particular industry.

• Some design, develop, maintain, and manage high-technology engineering systems for the automation of industrial tasks.
• Others apply mechatronic/automated solutions to the transfer of material components or finished goods, or design and assist with the manufacture of consumer products such as cameras and video recorders.
• Still others carry out studies into the feasibility, cost implications, and performance benefits of new mechatronic equipment.
• And others apply electronic and mechanical processes and computers to tasks where the use of human labor may be dangerous (for example, underwater exploration, mining, or forestry).
