1. This term was based on only some electrical and elecetronic computers, but after the 1980s, the use of computer technology was integrated
2. mecatronics, although stil a new term as comapared to other well established brance of engineering, now seems to be firmly established
3. At the research and development level, mechatronics is classified into ten technical areas: Motion control, robotics, automotive, systems, intelligent control, actuators and sensors, modeling and desings.
4. Now the aplication area of mechatronics is extremely broad. This technology is firlmly used in the automation of machines, servomechanics, industrial goods, biomedical systems.
5. Obviously, the desing of future products willl involve a combination of precision mechanical and electronic system.
6. the name mechatronics was originated in 1969
6.1. by senior engineer Tetsura mori, he was working for a japanese company called yaskawa Electric
7. building mechanical factory equipament
8. At that time, yaskawa Electric corporation, was using some electronic features for manufacturing mechanical equipment
8.1. Mori wanted to introduce a techinal term for that new techonology
9. So combined the technical words "mechanical" and "electronics" and create the new word "mechatronics"
10. In 1970 Yaskawa applied to make the word a registered brand and got the rights in 1973
