Term coined in around 1980

It combines in a synergetic way the classical

engineering disciplines, mechanical and electrical


What is Mechatronics

engineering disciplines, mechanical and electrical

engineering and computer science, leading to new

types of products

Some implications on relevant research

directions are design/production techniques,

control, artificial intelligence and man/machine

interfaces

For solving synthesis task (like anti-blocking

system, ABS) engineering mechanics are , of course,

needed



needed

In addition knowledge of systems theory and

control techniques are required

Solution needs to be realised knowledge and

methods from electrical engineering, electronics and

computer science would also have to be used

Growth in interdisciplinary field

Possible as a result of the availability of cheap



Possible as a result of the availability of cheap

computational power

The tendency is obviously to include much more


What is Mechatronics- information is the game changer

The tendency is obviously to include much more

information processing into the product to make

better use of resources and to make it more versatile

to the user

�It is the extension and the completion of

mechanical systems with sensors and

microcompters that is the most important aspect


Sensors and Microcomputers complete the system

�Such systems pick up changes in its enviornment

by sensors and reacts to their signals using the

appropriate information processing makes it

different from conventional machines

�Software has become an integral part of the

product itself , necessary for its function and

operation


Software at the center of all technologies

�It is fully justifiable to say that software has

become an actual ‘ Machine element’

Integration is the Mantra

New Applications

Still very limited , due to the still underdeveloped

intelligence of these machines

Numerous research works of mobile robots

Mechatronics is leading the way in micromachining and

nanotechniques


New Applications

nanotechniques

These new fields will intensively use methods from

mechatronics to make motions within very small

dimensions visible and controllable

Supplying and defining demanding applications and

integrating the control tasks into a technical system

Co-existence of technical systems with the biological


Objectives

Co-existence of technical systems with the biological

ones

Co-existence will develop cooperation

In this cooperation between biological or otherwise

unstructured systems and technical ones , Mechatronics

will play a very essential role

In such a co-operation it will be necessary to use


Objectives

In such a co-operation it will be necessary to use

machines that can be called intelligent and cooperative , in

contrast to current industry where such an interaction is

not yet usually needed

For any such less structured enviornments, in the future

machines with some kind of intelligence would be needed


Objectives

However, it will always be the case that this ‘ Machine

Intelligence’ is not sufficient

Human being

Such man/machine interactions require an appropriate

approach

9/11

9/11 has been a watershed in modern human

history

The world changed forever

This has been one of the negative used of

9/11 – Watershed in Modern History

The world changed for ever!

This has been one of the negative used of

technology in the history of mankind

Asymmetric Warfare

One world brought the world to near disaster

Privacy was given a go by

Technology took the world centerstage

The images of 9/11 has a lasting imprint of

human mind and would stay with us forever

Creation of this dept in US Administration in Oct

2002

Merger of 23 departments with interfaces


Department of Homeland Security- A positive response

Merger of 23 departments with interfaces

worldwide

Technology as at main platform was accepted

the standard mode of handling internal security

Technology would be given as much importance

as the other critical internal security components

If 9/11 has been the most negative use of modern technology


9/11 to Abottabad

If 9/11 has been the most negative use of modern technology

then Abottabad would go down as one of the most positive

use of modern technology

Capability To Track All Idling Locations, Idling Durations


AVLS

All the locations where the

vehicle was stopped including

for traffic lights will be tracked

and will be available in the

control room.

Ability To Look At The Path Traveled By The Vehicle For

Any Given Timeframe


AVLS

Any Given Timeframe

From one location, i.e. the

control room, the tracking

members can identify the trace

of route or path taken by the

vehicle in any given timeframe.

The coverage of the patrol to

various points can be tracked

using the system.

Rapid access to extensive data, displayed in a geospatial

medium helps protect critical assets and infrastructure and

ensures public safety

DHS Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI),a subset of Enterprise

Architecture, consists of geographic system software and

hardware, geospatial applications, data, standards, policies,hardware, geospatial applications, data, standards, policies,

programs, and the human resources necessary to acquire,

enable all levels of the Dept to use geospatial data, geographic

information systems software and hardware, and geospatial

applications to perform essential functions such as prevention,applications to perform essential functions such as prevention,

detection, planning, mitigation, response, and recovery in order

to minimize loss of life and property from weapons of mass

destruction, terrorist threats, major threats, major man made

accidents, and natural disasters

Mechatronics and Homeland SecurityConclusion

Mechatronics has the capability to design and

deliver products which can radically change our

quality of response in the war against terror. Thequality of response in the war against terror. The

missing like is the lack of interconnect between

the two at the R & D level. An integrated and all

inclusive technology strategy is the answer.
