Popularization of Mechatronics by Fan Film Inspired by Avengers: Infinity War

Mechatronics belongs to the modern fields of the technology and science. Modern mechatronics combines mechanics, informatics, electronics and automation. However, younger generation often understand mechatronics as a combination of mechanics and electronics / electrical engineering. This wrong architype brings a lot of problems in education, engineering and industry. New and actual trend in the industry is Industry 4.0 - also termed as 4th industrial revolution. It is a collective name for current automation, exchanging of data (also Big Data) and manufacturing technologies. Nowadays, industry (digital factories) is full of information and communication technologies (ICT) such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, virtual / augmented reality, etc. Unfortunately, only small amount of high school students would like to study mechatronics because young generation is influenced by the obsolete perception of this field and does not perceive some of its new aspects. They do not see recent technologies in this field. The authors of the proposed article decided to present mechatronics as a modern branch in an original way - by a fan film inspired by blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War.
