Mechatronics
Mechatronics Defined - I
The name [mechatronics] was coined by Ko Kikuchi, former president of
Yasakawa Electric Co.
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.

Mechatronics: Working Definition for us
Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of sensors, actuators,
signal conditioning, power electronics, decision and control
algorithms, and computer hardware and software to manage
complexity, uncertainty, and communication in engineered systems.
