Mechatronics : A Multidisciplinary Field of Engineering

Mechatronics refers to mechanical electronic systems and can be described as a theological combination of electronics, electrical, computer control and mechanics which when combined leads to generation of a simple, feasible and reliable systems. Mechatronics integrates sensors, actuators, signal conditioners, power electronics, decision and control algorithms, computer hardware-software to manage complexity in the design and communication in engineered systems. Systems engineering involves design, synthesis of products, analysis and processes involving components from different disciplines. Mechatronics provides a platform for system engineering to guide the product realization process from design, model, simulate, refine, analyze, prototype, validate and deploy the cycle.
