Crafting Streamlined, Efficient Ways of Doing

Robotics engineers develop cutting-edge robots and automation systems that streamline processes across various sectors, including automotive, electronics, and food packaging, while also improving existing technology through innovative software and system design. In LTU’s Bachelor of Science in Robotics Engineering, you will learn to at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to create machines capable of performing tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously.

With this knowledge, you can help advance and contribute to innovations that can transform industries, improve work processes and tasks of daily life, and drive the future of automation and intelligent systems.

Why LTU?
  • Access state-of-the-art facilities and technologies through applied projects at a leading research center.
  • Benefit from personalized guidance from our expert faculty in small class sizes. 
  • Benefit from LTU’s location in a major technology hub with excellent co-op, internship, and career opportunities.
  • Combine theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on learning experiences.

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
