What is MECHATRONICS?
• Synergistic integration of sensors, actuators, signal
conditioning, power electronics, decision and control
algorithms, and computer hardware and software to
manage complexity, uncertainty, and communication in
engineered systems.
• Multidisciplinary field that refers to the skill sets
needed in the contemporary, advanced automated
manufacturing industry.
• At the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and
computing, mechatronics specialists create simpler,
smarter systems.
What is MECHATRONICS?
Evolution of Mechatronics
cont..
• PRIMARY LEVEL:
Integrates electrical signaling with mechanical action at the basic
control level e.g. fluid valves and relay switches
• SECONDARY LEVEL:
Integrates microelectronics into electrically controlled devices
e.g. cassette tape player
cont..
• TERTIARY LEVEL:
Incorporates advanced control strategy using microelectronics,
microprocessors and other application specific integrated circuits e.g.
microprocessor based electrical motor used for actuation purpose in
robots
• QUATERNARY LEVEL:
Attempts to improve smartness of the system by introducing –
intelligence (ANN, Fuzzy logics, etc.) ability
Fault detection and isolation capability

Open- vs closed-loop systems
• If the error present at the controller is e(t) and the control signal which is
produced by the controller is m(t), then the on-off controller is represented by:
