MathWorks & Quanser: The Future of Robotics, Hardware, and AI

​[Dinner/Merch Provided] [Packard 202]

​Join engineers from MathWorks and Quanser for an engaging Dinner & Learn exploring how modern computational tools, hardware platforms, and AI are transforming engineering education and research.

​As robotics, control systems, and intelligent devices continue to evolve, the integration of computational software with physical hardware is becoming central to both research and teaching. This interactive session will explore how these technologies are shaping the future of engineering and how you can incorporate them into your work. 

​Topics will include:

• ​Emerging trends in research and teaching

• ​What’s new in mechatronics and robotics

• ​Practical strategies for integrating hardware lab solutions with Model-Based Design tools

​This session is designed to be highly interactive for both faculty and students, with demonstrations, applied examples, and open discussion about curriculum innovation and research workflows.

​We’ll also host a live Q&A session with engineers from both MathWorks and Quanser, where attendees can ask questions about:

• ​Hardware/software integration

• ​Implementation best practices

• ​The evolving role of AI in control and robotics workflows

• ​Real-world applications and teaching strategies

​Whether you're conducting research in robotics or controls, developing new coursework, or simply curious about how these tools are shaping the future of engineering, we hope you’ll join us for a lively discussion.
