Part Ⅰ Foundation of Mechatronics 001 Part Ⅰ Foundation of Mechatronics Lesson 1 What is “Mechatronics”? “Mechatronics” is a term coined by the Japanese to describe the integration of mechanical and electronic engineering. The concept may seem to be anything but new, since we can look around us and see a myriad of products that utilize both mechanical and electronic disciplines. Mechatronics, however, specially refers to a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach to product and manufacturing system design. It represents the next generation of machines, robots, and smart mechanisms necessary for carrying out work in a variety of environments-primarily, factory automation, office automation, and home automation as shown in Fig. 1-1. Fig. 1-1 By both implication and application, mechatronics represents a new level of integration for advanced manufacturing technology and processes. The intent is to force a multidisciplinary approach to these systems as well as to reemphasize the role of process understanding and control. This mechatronics approach is currently speeding up the already-rapid Japanese process for OFFICE AUTOMATION HOME AUTOMATION FACTORY AUTOMATION MECHATRONICS 机电专业英语 002 transforming ideas into products.
