Definition: What is Mechatronics?
Mechatronics word is derived from Mechanical “Mech” and
Electronics “tronics”
The term mechatronics was first used in the late 1960s by a
Japanese Electric Company to describe the engineering
integration between mechanical and electrical systems
Since then it has spread throughout Europe and is growing
is the USA
Mechatronics is the integration of microprocessor control
systems, electrical systems, and mechanical systems
(Bolton)
The term mechatronics is used to denote a rapidly
developing, interdisciplinary field of engineering that deals
with the design of products whose function relies on the
synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, and
electronic components connected by a control architecture
(Histand and Alciatore)

Definition: What is Mechatronics?
Mechatronics is the synergetic integration
of physical systems with information
technology and complex-decision making
in the design, manufacture and operation
of industrial products and processes
(Tomizuka)
Mechatronics is the analysis, design,
manufacturing, synergistic integration,
and maintenance of mechanics with
electronics through intelligent computer
control (Tutunji & Abdrabbo)

Introduction
Mechatronics is synergistic integration of
mechanical engineering, electronics and
intelligent computer control in design and
manufacture of products and processes

Mechatronics
in other words
At the stage of designing one interface, as a
separate device, is excluded out of a traditional
structure, but physical essence of transformation
carried out by this module is kept.

The present goal is a spatial integration with other functional
elements in the area of sensors as well as in the area of
actuators.
It would create an “intelligent” unit, i.e. an intelligent sensor
(integration of a measured values sensor, an analog/digital
converter and a microprocessor) and an intelligent actuator
(an integration of a digital/analog converter, an adapter circuit
or a power amplifier, or even a microprocessor).
The intelligent sensor measures analog physical quantities, for
example pressure, temperature, velocity, it digit measured
values and transfers the signal - suitably adjusted - to
information processing devices.
