applications, taking into consideration real industrial<br />
concerns.<br />
<strong>Mechatronics</strong> is the integration and application of<br />
precision mechanical engineering, control theory,<br />
computer science and electronics to create more<br />
functional and adaptable products. The term was first<br />
coined in the late 1960s by an engineer at Yaskawa<br />
Electric Corporation, and quickly spread in Japan, where<br />
it was recognized that approximately 80% of manufacturing<br />
products and processes are mechatronic in<br />
content.<br />
