Mechatronic Systems (Week 4)

Question 1

What is a Mechatronic System Design

Answer 1

Its the proccess of designing smart mechanical systems. Basically, systems that are not just mechanical but also;
- Controlled Electronically (Sensors, motors, etc)
- Managed by software (Like microcontrollers or embedded systems)

They goal is to create intelligent products and systems

Question 2

Functional Interaction

Answer 2

All the mechanical, electrical nd software parts work together smoothly

Question 3

Spatial Integration

Answer 3

All subsystems are built into one compact unit (Like how a drone is all together yk)

Question 4

Intelligence

Answer 4

The system can think/react using a microcontroller or processor.
-Makes decisions based on inputs

Question 5

Flexibility

Answer 5

Easy to change or upgrade the system

Question 6

Multifunctionality

Answer 6

The system can do many things (like how a smartwatch can track steps, heartrate, etc)

Question 7

Invisible Function

Answer 7

A lot happens behind the scenes

Question 8

Technology dependence

Answer 8

The system depends on current tech to be built/work well
