Nowadays most of the systems are computer controlled among them we quote
mechatronic systems where the intelligence is implemented in microcontrollers. The
discipline that deals with such systems is mechatronics that we define as the synergistic
combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and software
engineering. The purpose of this interdisciplinary engineering field is to control
complex systems by providing hardware and software solutions. The engineers
working in this field must master concepts in electronics, control and programming.
Examples of such systems can be found in different industrial areas ranging from
aerospace to automobile industries.
In the mechanical part, the engineer must follow a rigorous procedure to design
themechatronic system. He must build themechanical part of the system and choose
the appropriate sensors and actuators that have to be used in the functioning of
the mechatronic system. At this phase we must think about the place where the
electronic circuit will be integrated.
In the electronics part, the engineer must design the electronic circuit around microcontrollers
that will assure the functioning of the mechatronics systems. It covers
the integration of the required electronics components such as resistors, capacitors,
integrated circuits, sensors and the chosen microcontrollers. The required regulated
voltage for the different components is also part of this step. |

Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious—even liberating—book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive ... |
