Industry
Industry teams give Monash Automation members the chance to work directly with external partners on real engineering problems.
- Partners
- Aston Dynamics, Deutsche Hydrapro, Machine Knives Australia, Monash Innovation Labs
Real briefs
Unlike internal projects, these teams work to a client brief and must consider the practical constraints that come with industry work. The result is valuable for both sides: partners gain access to student ideas and technical capability, while our members gain experience that is difficult to reproduce in a classroom.
Following the MKA Blade Sharpening Robot project, team members Sri and Rahul were employed by MKA to advance its development, and MKA now welcomes students completing their Final Year Projects to work with the team.
