Page 01 GROUP 1 REPORT  Page 02 History of Mechatronics  Page 02 History of Mechatronics The name [mechatronics] dates back to 1971, and was coined by Tetsuro Mori, a senior engineer of Yasakawa Tetsuro Mori Electric Corporation., Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo  Page 02 History of Mechatronics MECHANICS MECHA MECHATRONICS ELECTRONICS TRONICS  Page 02 History of Mechatronics Defined by Harashima, Tomizuka, and Fukada as: the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes Defined by Auslander and Kempf as: the application of complex decision making to the operation of physical systems WHAT IS MECHATRONICS? Mechatronics is also called mechatronics engineering which involves the study of mechanical, electrical, robotics, electronics, control and telecommunications.  Page 05 Design Concepts Concurrent discipline design, as opposed to sequential, is the foundation of the mechatronic design methodology, which produces more synergistic products and enhances product and other output performance.  Page 05 Design Concepts Design Of Mechatronic System Modeling—A visual interface for creating a mechatronic system that integrates mechanical, electrical, and control components by combining models from each domain to analyze and optimize their behavior before building a physical prototype. Simulation—the procedure of verifying a design before construction using modeling and simulation tools. This procedure aids designers in comprehending a system's behavior and optimizing its design. Project Management – database for maintaining project information and sub- models for eventual reuse. Design - Numerical methods for optimization of performance functions based on model parameters and signals.  Page 05 Design Concepts Design Of Mechatronic System Analysis – Numerical methods for frequency domain, time domain, and complex domain. Real-Time Interface - A plug-in card interfaces to the model via actuators and sensors, replacing a portion of the model with real hardware. Rapid prototyping, often known as hardware-in-the-loop simulation, is carried out in real-time. Code Generator - To generate high-level source code efficiently from the visual modeling interface or block diagram. The embedded processor will use the compiled control code. C language is typically used. Embedded Processor Interface – The embedded processor residing in the final product, has a feature to communicate to a computer-aided prototyping environment. This is called a full system prototype.  Page 05 Design Concepts The mechatronic design concept is not only about producing high quality but also maintaining them as well, this factor is referred to as life cycle design. Several important factors that describe the life cycle design; 1. Delivery – Time, cost, medium 2. Reliability – Failure rate, materials, and tolerances 3. Maintainability – Modular design 4. Serviceability – Onboard diagnostics, prognostics, and modular design 5. Upgradeability – Future compatibility with current design 6. Disposability – Recycling and disposal of hazardous materials  Page 05 Design Concepts Stages in designing Mechatronic System 1. The Need - the first stage in the process of designing mechatronic systems. The need is identified by conducting market research to understand the customer's needs. 2. Analysis of the problem - the critical stage as it may lead to a waste of time and may not fulfill the need if analysis is not done carefully. 3. Preparation of Specification - the requirements and functions to be met. 4. Conceptualization - possible solutions be generated for each function required.  Page 05 Design Concepts Stages in designing Mechatronic System 5. Optimization - from analyzing and comparing different potential solutions to problems, ultimately choosing the “most suitable solution” that best meets the desired criteria. 6. Detail Design - may require the production of a prototype. Mechanical layout is to be made physically so all components can be accommodated. 7. Production of Working Drawings - selected design or solution is translated into working drawings, circuit diagrams, etc. so that the product can be made. Drawings are included in manufacturing tolerances for each component.  Page 05 Design Concepts Mechatronics systems are a blend of different forms of engineering implementations. Unlike the traditional systems whose designs are finalized by iterations of Design Equations and Numerical analysis, the mechatronics systems are properly designed using Modelling and Simulations, prototyping, and hence properly tested by deploying. Page 05 Page 05  Page 06 Mechatronics Area of Study KEY COMPONENTS Mechanical Engineering MECHATRONICS Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer/Information Systems  Page 06 Mechatronics Area of Study 1.
