Introduction to Mechatronics
* Mechatronics basically refers to mechanical
electronic systems and normally described as a
synergistic combination of mechanics, electrical,
electronics, computer and control which, when
combined, make possible the generation of simple,
more economic, and reliable systems
* The term "mechatronics" was first assigned by
Mr. Tetsuro Mori, a senior engineer of the Japanese
companyYaskawa, in 1969.

* Physically, a mechatronic system is composed of


four prime components. They are sensors,
actuators, controllers and mechanical
components. Figure shows a schematic diagram
of a mechatronic system integrated with all the
above components
