Mechatronics
is the synergistic
combination of mechanical engineering
("mecha" for mechanisms), electronic engineering
("tronics" for electronics),
and software engineering.
The purpose of this interdisciplinary engineering field is the study of automata
from an engineering perspective and serves the purposes of controlling
advanced hybrid-systems
such as production systems, synergy-drives, planetary-rovers,
automotive subsystems such as anti-block system, spin-assist
and every day equipment such as autofocus cameras, video, hard disks,
cd-players, washing machines, lego-matics etc. Mechatronics is centred on mechanics, electronics
and computing
which, combined, make possible the generation of simpler, more economical,
reliable and versatile systems. The word "mechatronics" was first coined by
Mr. Tetsuro Moria, a senior engineer of a Japanese company in 1969.
Mechatronics may alternatively be referred to as "electromechanical
systems". (Source
