Today’s markets are extremely competitive and engineers are continuously engaged in a struggle to produce complex systems with a high level of reliability and performance, yet at a relatively low price. Much of this demand is brought about by the rapidly-evolving microprocessor technology. In order to survive in this highly-competitive environment, developers have to integrate several technologies.
Mechatronics is the answer to this dilemma. It is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and integrates several technologies such as mechanical subsystems, sensors, actuators, instrumentation subsystems, computers, microcontrollers, PLCs and software. It therefore provides the basis for the integration process, right from the earliest stages of the design process.
Mechatronics is the key to modern video and CD disk drives, camcorders, avionics, aircraft fly-by-wire, computerised fuel injection for motor vehicles, anti-lock braking systems, and smart weapons such as military drones used for aerial reconnaissance purposes. In the process automation field, mechatronics systems are also found in diverse applications such as smart conveyer lines and assembly-line robots.
