Abstract

The term ‘mechatronics’ was first coined in 1969 by Kikuchi in Japan [VDI-2206, HaTF-1996]. This artificial word merges the English terms mechanism (‘mechanics’) and electronics and thus primarily expresses the connection between the disciplines mechanisms (mechanics or mechanical engineering) and electronics (including electrical engineering) as well as with control engineering and information and communication technology (ICT). By offering realisation possibilities from these disciplines, mechatronics enables and fosters the development, manufacture and operation of innovative products and processes, thus fits perfectly into the IDE environment.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here, the basic system is meant.

  2. 2.

    This term refers to the development process in the sense of a procedure and not to its result, the mechatronic system or the mechatronic product.
