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.
