1. B TECH - MECHATRONICS
You have played enough with toy models,
Now its time to build some.

2. WHAT IS MECHATRONICS
Mechatronics a combination of
Mechanical
Electronic
Computer
Software
Control
Systems Design
DESIGN, CONTROL &
MANUFACTURE
Eg: Robots, Photocopier, Disk
Drive

3. MECHATRONICS
• Yasakawa Electric Japan, in 1969 coined the term MECHATRONICS
• Initially Mechatronics was referred to system with only Mechanical system
and Electrical components, no Computation was involved.
• Example including the Automatic Sliding door, Vending Machine, Garage
Door Opener
