Noun[edit]
mechatronics (uncountable)
- The synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and software engineering for the study of automata from an engineering perspective and the control of advanced hybrid systems.
- 1989, Makoto Kajitani, A Concept of Mechatronics[1]:
- Advanced technology to create energy-saving, resorce-saving and highly intelligent systems by integrating mechanics, electronics and software is called mechatronics.
- 2012, Alex A. Kecskes, The Rise of the Mechatronics Engineer[2]:
- So what's this new hybrid called a Mechatronics Engineer? Simply stated, these pros apply mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering theory and techniques to create automated, intelligent products, smart devices, and industrial control systems--systems that can then be "taught" to improve their performance. This is where many future engineering jobs are headed.
