Mechatronics, Automation and Control Systems

Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of science. Mechatronics includes the combination of mechanics and electronics. As technical systems have become more and more complex the definition has been broadened to include more technical areas like telecommunications engineering, computer engineering, control engineering and systems engineering. Examples of Mechatronics System are robots, aircraft flight control, automated guided vehicles, navigation systems, digitally controlled combustion engines and self-adaptive tools etc.  The sensors in these systems receives signals from the surroundings, react to these signals using appropriate processing to generate acquired output signals. Mechatronics can be referred as Electromechanical systems.
