Imagine a soccer team of robots winning the World Cup.
This it not a fantasy for Okyay Kaynak, a professor at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. He thinks the robot team could happen in as little as 50 years.
Engineering students gathered in Nedderman Hall on Thursday to hear Dr. Kaynak, a member of the Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineering, speak about the ever-changing technology of mechatronics.
The integration of mechanical, electrical and computer systems over the last century define mechatronics today."
