Knowra Mechatronics Mechatronics Mechatronics integrates mechanical engineering, electronics, control theory, and computing to create machines and automated systems that sense, decide, and act.
Control system : An arrangement of components that regulates a process or machine toward a desired behavior. Control theory links sensed conditions to corrective actions in mechatronic machines.
Mechanical engineering : The engineering field concerned with the design, analysis, and manufacture of physical systems and machinery. It provides the structures, mechanisms, and physical models that mechatronic designs depend on.
Industrial robot : An automatically controlled, reprogrammable manipulator used in industrial applications. Industrial robots combine mechanical arms, sensors, drives, and programmed control.
Electrical engineering : The engineering field concerned with electrical and electronic systems, devices, and power. Electrical engineering addresses circuits and power, while mechatronics integrates those elements with mechanical behavior.
Feedback : A process in which a system uses information about its output to influence its subsequent behavior. Feedback lets a machine adjust its actions when measured behavior differs from its target.
Electronics : The branch of technology concerned with circuits and devices that control the flow of electrical signals. Electronic circuits condition sensor signals and drive components in integrated machines.
Computer numerical control : Automated control of machine tools through programmed commands encoded in a computer-readable form. CNC machines coordinate electronic control with precise mechanical tool motion.
Robotics : The interdisciplinary field that designs, builds, and studies robots and their behavior. Robotics overlaps strongly with mechatronics but centers on robotic systems and their capabilities.
Sensor : A device that detects a physical quantity and produces a signal representing it. Sensors supply measurements that let mechatronic systems monitor their environment and state.
Control theory : The mathematical study of how to influence the behavior of dynamic systems using inputs and feedback. It supplies methods for making mechanical and electrical behavior stable and precise.
