Lecture 01 - 140217

The document provides an overview of a mechatronics course offered at Ain Shams University. It outlines the course content which includes an introduction to mechatronics systems and components, product design techniques, mechanical design considerations, sensor and actuator selection, and interfacing. It describes the assessment scheme and lists example mini-projects students can work on, such as a medical simulator or bipedal robot. It also provides deadlines for submitting mini-project proposals, reports, and presentations. In the last section, it discusses the background and definition of mechatronics as the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering design.

What is Mechatronics?
Mechatronics Background

 The word mechatronics was first introduced by the senior engineer of


a Japanese company; Yaskawa, in 1969, as a combination of
"mecha" of mechanisms and "tronics" of electronics, and the company
was granted trademark rights on the word in 1971.

 The word soon received broad acceptance in industry and, in order to


allow its free use, Yaskawa decided to abandon his rights on the word
in 1982.

 The most commonly used one emphasizes synergy: Mechatronics is


synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electronics and
intelligent computer control in design and manufacture of products
and processes.
Mechatronics Background

The synergistic combination of mechanical, electrical, and computer


engineering
•Emphasis on integrated design for products
•Optimal combination of appropriate technologies
Mechatronics Background

 The word has taken a wider meaning since then, and is now widely
used as a technical jargon word to describe a philosophical idea in
engineering technology, more than technology itself.

Mechatronic is multifaced engineering context to enhance


engineers’ decision making skills and problem solving of
engineering problems.
 Mechatronics is a design philosophy: an integrating approach to
engineering design.
 Mechatronics is a methodology used for the optimal design of inter-
disciplinary products.
 Through a mechanism of simulating interdisciplinary ideas and
techniques, mechatronics provides ideal conditions to raise the
synergy, thereby providing a catalytic effect for the new solutions to
technically complex situations.
