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
