About.The Mecatronix Project is a research project in the area of Mechatronics and Robotics run at University Politehnica Timisoara, Romania, with the aim to develop new strategies to control a robotic arm without an explicit hard-coded model of it, but rather rely on artificial intelligence to make it achieve its tasks. To do so, the system relies on a camera to perceive it's environment.

Established in 2019The project proposal was submitted august 2018, the founding approval came in February 2019. The founding is provided by ARUT (Alianta Romana a Universitatilor Tehnice) through one of the founding members Universitatea Politehnica Timisoara.
The project has a duration of 14 months, namely from February 2019 to April 2020 |
Our GoalOur goal in this project is to develop strategies for various mechatronic systems to perform their function without an explicit mathematical model of the system.
For example, classical robotic manipulation relies heavily on kinematic models of the robot to perform the tasks, humans on the other hand do not have a kinematic model of their limbs (precise lengths of the limb, angular position, torque equations) and still perform some tasks way better than robots can do, so there must be another way. Within this project we want to explore other possibilities for machine (robot) control. |
