1.1 Definition

The definition of mechatronics has evolved since the


original definition by the Yasakawa Electric Company. In
trademark application documents, Yasakawa defined
mechatronics in this way:
The word, mechatronics, is composed of “mecha” from
mechanism and the “tronics” from electronics. In other words,
technologies and developed products will be incorporating electronics
more and more into mechanisms, intimately and organically, and making
it impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.
Definition…
 The definition of mechatronics continued to evolve after
Yasakawa suggested the original definition. One of quoted
definition of mechatronics was presented by Harashima,
Tomizuka, and Fukada in 1996. In their words:
Mechatronics is defined as the synergistic integration of
mechanical engineering, with electronics and intelligent
computer control in the design and manufacturing of
industrial products and processes.
Definition…
 That same year, another definition was suggested by Auslander and
Kempf:
Mechatronics is the application of complex decision making to the
operation of physical systems.

 Paruschev´s definition (1996):


Mechatronics may be taken as a complex of ideas, methods and means
to create computer-controlled and programmable mechanic systems
with settable functionality, linked to energetic and power interactions
of mechanic subsystems with their ambient.
Definition…
 Yet another definition due to Shetty and Kolk appeared in
1997 :
Mechatronics is a methodology used for the optimal design
of electromechanical products.

 More recently, we find the suggestion by W. Bolton :


A mechatronic system is not just a marriage of electrical
and mechanical systems and is more just a control system;
it is a complete integration of all of them.
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
1.3 Disciplines
 The genesis of mechatronics is the interdisciplinary area relating to
mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and
computer science fig 3.pptx MS

 fig 6.pptx
1.4 components(key element)
 The study of mechatronic systems can be divided into the following areas of
specialty:

1. Physical Systems Modeling


2. Sensors and Actuators
3. Signals and Systems
4. Computers and Logic Systems
5. Software and Data Acquisition
• The key elements of mechatronics are illustrated in Figure 1.1.
• As the field of mechatronics continues to mature, the list of relevant topics
associated with the area will most certainly expand and evolve

Home Automation

• Using a computer:
– Turn on the lights at preset times
– Adjust brightness
– Turn on the heat at preset times or
temperatures
– Serve as a security system
