Intro to Mechatronics Mechatronics Defined — I • “The name [mechatronics] was coined by Ko Kikuchi, now president of Yasakawa Electric Co., Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo.” – R. Comerford, “Mecha … what?” IEEE Spectrum, 31(8), 46-49, 1994. • “The word, mechatronics is composed of mecha from mechanics and tronics from electronics. In other words, technologies and developed products will be incorporating electronics more and more into mechanisms, intimately and organically, and making it impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.” – T. Mori, “Mechatronics,” Yasakawa Internal Trademark Application Memo, 21.131.01, July 12, 1969.

Bolton, Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical Engineering, Longman, 1995. • “Application of complex decision making to the operation of physical systems.” – D. M. Auslander and C. J. Kempf, Mechatronics: Mechanical System Interfacing , Prentice-Hall, 1996. • “Synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes.” – F.
