History of the Department

Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering is the balanced combination of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and Computer Engineering. It is fairly a new branch of engineering in Bangladesh. However, it is well-established in the developed countries as in today’s high-tech world the integration of these three fields of engineering is in high demand. Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Dhaka is the first department of its kind in Bangladesh. Established in September 2015, the department was initially named as the ­­­­­­­­Department of Mechatronics Engineering. Then in June 2016 it was renamed as the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering to make the scope of study much wider. Since its inception, the department has a vision to develop skilled man-power in this field and establish excellent Robotics and Mechatronics research facilities to serve not only the students and faculty members of this department but also to other universities and organizations who want to work in this field of engineering. The department also aims at taking part in different national and international level projects to develop Robotics and Mechatronics based products that will be beneficial to the society and the country.
