The textbook, Technical English for Mechatronics and Robotics 2 is a sequel to Technical English for Mechatronics and Robotics 1 and is designed for third-year undergraduate students of mechatronics and robotics, specifically for the courses Technical English III-MiR and Technical English IV-MiR. Across 15 chapters, it integrates English language learning with technical content from the fields of mechatronics and robotics, covering topics such as industrial robots, sensors and actuators, electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics, the digital society, metrology, fluid mechanics, robot maintenance, Industry 5.0, control systems, and quality assurance and control. The textbook systematically develops technical vocabulary, the comprehension and analysis of technical texts, and grammatical competence, as well as skills in describing, presenting, and writing summaries, résumés, and cover letters. In this way, it enables students to bridge the gap between linguistic and technical knowledge, fostering the communication competencies essential for successful academic studies and future professional work in the field of mechatronics and robotics.
