    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.
