NASA Robotics - Robotics Alliance Project What is Mechatronics? NC State University-UNC Asheville The name Mechatronics stems from mechanical and electronics and is a relatively new approach to product design and development, merging the principles of electrical, mechanical, computer and industrial engineering. It addresses the four interconnected disciplines used for all complex modern devices. Mechatronic systems are typically composed of traditional mechanical and electrical components but are referred to as "smart" devices or systems because of the incorporation of sensors, actuators and computer control systems. Over the years, the term "mechatronics" has come to mean the integrated methodology for designing products that exhibit fast, precise performance. Mechatronics is an emerging field of engineering that integrates electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, control engineering and information technology. Why Study Mechatronics? Where do Mechatronic Engineers work? Examples include: Important mechatronics links

s - What is Mechatronics? What is mechatronics engineering? - Mechatronics definition. Mechatronics is a synergistic combination of precision engineering, electronic control and mechanic systems. mechanics electronics informatics automation robotics It is one of the most dynamically developing fields of technology and science. mechatronics = mechanics + electronics + computing Mechatronics - the genesis The term mechatronics was introduced to the technical terminology by the Japanese company Yaskawa Elektric Corporation (a company founded in 1915) and since 1971 it has been protected as a trade name. mechatronics includes programmable electronic devices and electromechanical systems for embedded, distributed structure of the sensors, processing signals, actuators and communications. Isermann [1] defines mechatronics as a combination of knowledge from three disciplines - mechanics, electronics and computer science. Isermann R.: Integrierte mechanisch-elektronische Systeme.

AIA - Vision Online What is Mechatronics? | Engineers Australia Explanation of Mechatronics Not long ago, a civil engineering friend came to me with a problem. His company had bought a partly-completed water works to provide a steady cash flow after the pre-2000 Olympics construction boom. All the civil works had been completed and mechanical pumping equipment was being installed. However, the water works required a control and monitoring system to be able to guarantee 24 hour, 7 day maintenance of water quality. The company had recruited an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer and a software specialist to complete the job but was ready to fire them after 6 months of anguish, delays and frustration. Mechatronic engineering is based on elements of mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering and computer science, but is a distinct discipline in its own right. Mechatronic engineering accounts for around 10% of Australian engineering graduates. Mechatronic engineers also learn to develop strong team skills.
