Mechatronics
Mechatronics is an engineering field that combines mechanics, electronics, computer science, and control engineering to design and build intelligent machines and systems. It's about creating smart products that integrate these different disciplines.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary engineering field integrating mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, and control engineering to design, develop, and manufacture intelligent systems and products, such as robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and smart sensors, for industrial automation.
BACKGROUND
Mechatronics engineering, also called mechatronics, is the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer systems employing mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering and computer science and engineering, and includes a combination of robotics, computer science, telecommunications, systems, control, automation and product engineering.
