topic of free-space quantum communication between mobile platforms, which was initially implemented to fulfill the need for free-space QKD and entanglement distribution using mobile nodes, was brought into robotics domain as an emerging interdisciplinary mechatronics topic to investigate and explore the interface between the quantum technologies and robotic systems domain. The main advantage of such integrated technology being the guaranteed security in communication between multiagent and cooperative autonomous systems. Although as a newfound emerging area, other benefits are anticipated in the future research by accessing the fast-growing and forthcoming quantum advantages. However, such progress can only be made after a foundation is laid out in what is referred to as “quantum robotics” and “quantum mechatronics”. The paper contributes to providing the complementary background needed for the research in integrating free-space quantum communication into the robotics field. Other contributions include modernizing the mechatronics discipline with quantum engineering for educational purposes which was initially proposed in. This paper further introduces quantum engineering topics needed in training and preparing the future engineering workforce to succeed in the rapid-paced ever-changing industry. In particular, the topics on the quantum mechanics fundamentals such as quantum entanglement, cryptography, teleportation, as well and the Bell test, are proposed which are suitable for engineering curriculum and
University projects.

80:. The terms "Alice Robot" and "Bob Robot" serve as analogous expressions that merge the concepts of Alice and Bob from quantum mechanics with mechatronic mobile platforms (such as robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles). For example, the Alice Robot functions as a transmitter platform that communicates with the Bob Robot, housing the receiving detectors.
