Study Notes
- Mechatronics combines mechanical and electronic elements
- Mechatronics involves mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science
- The term "mechatronics" was coined by Yasakawa Electric Company
- Mechatronic systems have a mechanical system at their core that needs to be commanded or controlled
- Sensors provide information about the state of the system to the controller
- The controller processes user commands and sensed signals to generate command signals to be sent to the actuators
- Mechatronic systems can operate in open-loop or closed-loop mode
- Actuators convert electrical signals into useful mechanical motion or action
- Controllers for mechatronic systems can be implemented using personal computers or microcontroller units
- Mechatronic systems can improve the performance of a system beyond what can be achieved using manual means.
