MECHATRONIC

Level 11
Aydan Salvador Montoya Alvarez
WHAT IS?
It is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering, which
develops devices and technologies from various fields
of knowledge in which various areas come together,
along with the combined use of robotics and electronic
engineering and Computer/Systems science.
ETYMOLOGY

• The word mechatronics is combined by two words, mechanics and


electronics.

 The mechanical word comes from the Greek "makhanikos"


composed of "makhane: machine" and the suffix "ikos: -ico"
(relative to)
 On the other hands, the electronic word comes from the Greek
"elektron: amber" which refers to "electric"
WHAT DOES MECHATRONICS THUS?

• On the whole, mechatronics thus encompasses the development of products that involve a
control system for intelligent products or processes.
WHAT HAS
MECHATRONICS BEEN
LOOKING FOR THROUGH
TIME?
• Through the years, mechatronics has been looking to create more
complex machinery to facilitate the activities of the human being
through electronic processes of control systems applied in the
industry.
• Objective: • Industries that use mechatronics:

 Automate machinery in order to made agile,  Companies in the automation industry


productive and reliable.  Companies in the flexible manufacturing industry

 Creation of intelligent products that, above all,


respond to the needs of the human being.
• Not only in these two areas, which are the
