2. Themes for students’ researches and final projects

• The fundamental problems of Mechatronics such as the theoretical basis and models for mechatronic systems. According to many scientists, this field is an important technical area of the 21st century.
• Multibody systems dynamics, which is the core basis of the modeling of mechatronic systems such as industrial robot (serial and parallel), humanoid robots, mobile robots, machines. Modeling and dynamics calculation and control is of great interest.
• Construction of specialized software, researches on the theory of assembling application software.
• Calculation of kinematics, dynamics and control of industrial robots, underwater robots, parallel robots, autonomous robots and automated machines.
• Calculation of dynamics and control of mechatronic systems and other mixed systems
• Calculation and design of industrial robots.
• Dynamics and control of deficient engineering systems such as: robot with elastic joints, robot with elastic links, …
• Research and development of new technology principles based on the achievements of informatics, mechanics and electronics.
• Nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. This new scientific field is attracting the interest of leading scientists in the world and will undoubtedly have many applications in engineering, economics and society in the 21st century.
• New materials mechanics and mixed multibody systems dynamics …
• Dynamics of redundant robot, which may have infinite number of solutions. Therefore, optimal solution is of interest.
• Application of modern optimization methods such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization algorithm, etc. to solve optimization problems in engineering.
• Inevitable vibration of high-rise buildings and long-span suspension bridges under wind and earthquakes. To reduce vibration, vibration absorbers or controllers are needed. The problems are to find the parameters of the absorbers and to find where to install them.
• Vibration of bridges under moving vehicles. How strong the vibration is depends on vehicle speed. The calculation of the vehicles’ speed which endangers the bridge is necessary to issue warnings to the drivers and keep the bridge safe.
• Vibration measurement, which can tell the status of the machine as a doctor makes a diagnosis. Here appear the problems of signal processing such as noise reduction and the methods of measurement data analysis. According to the received results, the engineers should draw conclusions about the state of the machine.
• Dynamics and control of cranes, which are widely used in factories, buildings, ports, etc. If the operator is inexperience, there may be the increase in the shaking angle of the hanging ropes which will reduce the productivity and endanger the working environment. The problem is to program trajectory or to design the controller to reduce the vibration of the weight. This problem occurs in every types of crane such as tower crane, container crane, etc.

3. Where to work or study after graduation

• Mastering the theory and having interdisciplinary knowledge, mechatronics engineers have the best ability to adapt to new engineering fields of manufacturing, transportation, automation, etc.
• Engineers, masters and doctors who are trained at the Department can work in research institutes (Research Institute of Technology for Machinery, Institute of Mechanics, National Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Transport Science and Technology, National Institute of Labour protection, Industrial machinery and Instruments Holding, Vietnam Research Institute of Electronics, Informatics and Automation, research institute of agricultural machinery,…), in universities and colleges (at the department of mechanical engineering, mechanical technology, automation engineering, mechatronics, etc.) and can also work effectively as calculating engineers, design engineers, research engineers and engineers who can exploit new technologies in big companies or factories (Viettel).
• Especially, engineers with the fundamental knowledge of multidisciplinary engineering and informatics and good English skills are attractive candidates to the headhunters of multinational joint-venture companies (Samsung).
