MECHATRONICS

assalamualaikum wr.wb.

            Mechatronics name is derived from the mechanical and electronics and is a relatively new approach to the design and development of products, combining the principles of electrical, mechanical, computer and industrial engineering. It addresses four interrelated disciplines used for all modern devices are complex. Mechatronic system usually consists of a traditional mechanical and electrical components but is referred to as the "smart" or system due to the incorporation of sensors, actuators and computer control systems. Over the years, the term "mechatronics" has come to mean a unified methodology for designing products that show fast, precise performance.

            Mechatronics is the emerging field of engineering that integrates electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, control engineering and information technology. In layman's terms, mechatronics combines the fields of engineering to enable the design, development and implementation of "smart devices" in an integrated, cross-disciplinary. The mechatronics concepts to establish the basic principles of contemporary engineering design methodology. In this methodology, product engineering and process has components that require manipulation and control of dynamic (moving) to the construction of the required high level of accuracy. Also, the design process requires integrating enabling technologies such as information technology and control engineering. A key factor for the design process involves integrating modern microelectronics and software engineering to mechanical and electromechanical systems.

           
             Mechatronics has been popular in Japan and Europe for many years but has been slow to gain industrial and academic acceptance as a field and practice in Great Britain and the United States. In the past, machine and product design has been the domain of mechanical engineers. After the machine was designed by mechanical engineers, solutions to control and programming problems were added by software and computer engineers. This sequential-engineering approach usually resulted in less-than-optimal designs and is now recognized as less than optimal itself.


            The prime role of mechatronics is one of initiation and integration throughout the whole of the design process, with the mechatronics engineer as the leader. Experts in the interdisciplinary mechatronics field must acquire general knowledge of various techniques and be able to master the entire design process. They must be able to use the special knowledge resources of other people and the particular blend of technologies that will provide the most economic, innovative, elegant and appropriate solution to the problem at hand. Industry needs mechatronics engineers to continue to rapidly develop innovative products with performance, quality and low cost.

One of the best in mechatronics department of indonesia is in pens. pens for campus technology which is very important in the development of allies technology in in indonesia. mechatronics in pens also has produced quality graduates. they also send students to participate in national robot contest and has become a champion 11 times successive. this is the boast of achievement for pens and mektronika

            That little thing i know about mechatronics. thank you
