What is Mechatronics?
Combination of Disciplines
Computer Systems, Mechanical Systems, Electrical Systems, Control Systems
Examples of Mechatronics Systems
Car headlights, automatic door, flow controller
Devices: Sensors, Actuators, Electronics, Computer/Processors
Micro-robots
Can be injected into the body without leaving a wound. Can deliver the medicine or operate
at precise locations (diagnose/cure)
, EX: fighting cancer, minimally invasive eye surgery, monitoring insulin
Computer controlled system
Power Source -> Actuators -> Machine/Process -> Sensors -> CPU -> Actuators OR <->
Operator/communications interfaces
Sensor/Transducer
a device which transforms non-electrical physical quantity (Distance, Mass, Pressure, Flow
rate, strain, velocity, light, temperature, movement, etc) into electrical signal (voltage,
current, Capacitance, frequency)
What are the Signals from Sensors?
Voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, magnetic flux intensity
-Typically weak, needs to be magnified, filtered, ready to detect/analysis
Signal from sensors->Magnify and filter -> Detectable Voltage or current
What is a passive component?
No need power to run the component
