Mechatronics engineering is the design of
computer-controlled electromechanical systems. The essence of it is that
the design of the mechanical system must be performed together with the
design of the electrical/electronic and computer control aspects that
together, comprise a complete system.
The word mechatronics originated in Japanese-English and was created by
Tetsuro Mori, an engineer of Yaskawa Electric Corporation. The word
mechatronics was registered as trademark by the company in Japan with
the registration number of "46-32714" in 1971. The company later
released the right to use the word to the public, and the word began
being used globally. Currently the word is translated into many
languages and is considered an essential term for advanced automated
industry.
