The School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) hosted the Motion Control and Artificial Vision Workshop on March 17, in collaboration with Keyence Canada and Zaber Technologies.

The workshop gave students practical insight into the design and implementation of modern automation systems, emphasizing the integration of sensing (vision systems) and actuation (motion systems) to create reliable, efficient solutions—helping bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world engineering practice.

Keyence Canada presented its machine vision technologies, showcasing both traditional rule-based inspection methods—such as thresholding, edge detection and pattern matching—and advanced AI-driven approaches that improve performance in complex and variable environments, particularly for defect detection and classification.

Zaber Technologies focused on motion system design, outlining key considerations in selecting linear and rotary actuators, including load requirements, speed, precision, travel range, duty cycle and system integration. Their session demonstrated how motion components are selected and optimized for specific applications.

Both companies showcased their technologies, giving students the opportunity to engage directly with industry tools and applications.

The School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering thanks Keyence Canada and Zaber Technologies for their valuable contributions to this event.
