Definition:“Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes.”Example: Use of Home appliances, toys…..etc.“The portmanteau ‘Mechatronics was coined by Ko Kikuchi, the senior engineer of the Japanese company Yasakawa in 1969.”
Over View:
Origin of Mechatronics:
Technological advances in design, manufacturing and operation of engineered products/devices /processes can be traced through:
o Industrial revolution.o Semiconductor
revolution.o Information revolution.
DESIGN OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEM: Replacement of Mechanical part by Electronic
component like piezo electronic actuator. Replacing Analogue measurement system for
inputs by sensors. Instead of using bimetallic temperature
switches, a micro processor based thermo diode sensors can do on/off function.
Mechatronics approach has redefined and accurate result output as compared to crude and inaccurate readings of traditional analogue systems with mechanical design in total.
Applications:
Automation and Robotics. Servo Machines. Automotive Engineering E.g.: anti lock braking system.Expert Systems. Industrial goods. Transportation and vehicular systems. Mobile applications.
Phoenix:o Phoenix was a robotic
spacecraft on a space exploration mission on Mars under the Mars Scout Program. The Phoenix Lander descended on Mars on May 25, 2008. Mission scientists used instruments aboard the Lander to search for environments suitable for microbial life on Mars, and to research the history of water there.
ROBOTS:
A Robot is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform tasks automatically or with guidance typically by a remote control.
It is usually an electro mechanical machine that is guided by computer and electronic programming.
E.g.: NAO, ASIMO, TOPIO.
Merits
Enhanced features and functionality.
Precision control. More efficient. Lower cost. More reliable. Smaller.
Different expertise required.
Increase in component failures.
Increased power requirements.
Lifetimes change/vary. Real-time
Calculations/Mathematical Models
Improper use of applications may lead to several loses.
Merits and Demerits
Demerits
Conclusion:
Mechatronics play a vital role in forming the platform for advancements in emerging technologies.
