Applied Mechatronics Seminar

The Departments of Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering organized the “Applied Mechatronics Seminar” last August 22, 2009 at the Rigney Hall, Bunzel Bldg., USC Talamban Campus. The objective of the one-day seminar was to discuss the latest trends in Robotics and Machine Vision.

The attendees were treated to a state-of-the-art discussion as the speakers were brought in from abroad via live inter-action. Dr. Duke Bulanon, former chairman of the ME/IE Department, talked about “Image Fusion for Fruit Detection” while Dr. Joe Mari Maja, also former chairman of the Department of Computer Engineering, discussed “Mechatronics: Solutions for Life”.’ Both are based in the University of Florida where they are pursuing post doctoral studies.

The seminar was participated in by faculty members and students, particularly 4th and 5th computer engineering and mechanical engineering students. Invited faculty members and students from the University of Cebu and the University of San Jose Recoletos attended as well.
