1969 in Japan, Tetsura Mori, a senior engineer for
Yaskawa Electric Corp., coined the term mechatronics.
In the 1980s, mechatronics was used to focus on
information technology whereby microprocessors were
embedded into mechanical systems to improve
performance, such as antilock braking and electric
seats.
In the 1990s, mechatronics centered on communication
technology to connect products into large networks,
including the production of air bags and other related
technologies.

Mechatronics System Design, Devdas Shetty & Richard Kolk
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination
of precision mechanical engineering,
electronic control and systems thinking in the
design of products and manufacturing
processes.
Mechatronics is a methodology used for the
optimal design of electromechanical products.
A mechatronic system is not an
electromechanical system and is more than a
control system.

Simulation & Modeling Simulation & Modeling
Modeling is the process of representing the
behavior of a real system by a collection of
mathematical equations and logic.
Simulation is the process of solving the
model and is performed on a computer.
The process of simulation can be divided into
three sections:
Initialization
Iteration
Termination
Optimization Optimization
Optimization solves the problem of
distributing limited resources throughout a
system such that prespecified aspects of its
behavior are satisfied.
In mechatronics, optimization is primarily
used to establish the optimal system
configuration.
Resources.Design variables
System behaviour Objectives

Advantages Advantages
Cost effective and very good quality product.
High degree of flexibility.
Greater extent of machine utilization.
Capital expenses are reduced.
Owing to the incorporation of intelligent, self
correcting sensory and feedback systems, the
mechatronic approach results in:
Greater productivity;
Higher quantity and producing reliability.

Disadvantages Disadvantages
High initial cost of the system.
Imperative to have knowledge of different
engineering fields for design and
implementation.
Specific problems for various systems will
have to be addressed separately.
It is expensive to incorporate mechatronics
approach to an existing / old system.
Examples Examples
Office: Copy machine
Home: Washing machine
Industries: Welding robots
Manufacturing: CNC machine
Medical: X-ray machine
Constructions: Hydraulic cranes
