ME 106 Fundamentals of Mechatronics The Plan

Warmup problem Recap the concept of

Mechatronics Term Project overview Comments on this week’s lab Review of basic

concepts in electronics

Objectives Diagram the conceptual areas

that comprise mechatronics Describe what the term project

is about and what steps you need to take

Articulate fundamental concepts in electronics in terms that non-engineers could understand

Use electrical concepts to solve for quantities in the voltage divider

Warmup Introduce yourself to someone you don’t know Share a favorite hobby other thing they like to do Work together to succinctly describe what

mechatronics is all about Write out your description, and be ready to

share with the class Take 2 minutes!

What is Mechatronics? The integration of:

Sensors Actuators Intelligence

with a system toproduce: More capable, versatile,

and robust performance
