Mechatronics is Revolution

Advanced science and technology led by the 4th industrial revolution

'Mechatronics industry'These days, the term “4th Industrial Revolution” is becoming a hot topic in all fields of industry, technology, economy, education, and society. The so-called 1st to 3rd industrial revolutions are expressed by dividing the era in which information and communication technologies, which are digital revolutions, grafted on the industrial world from steam engine development to electric energy, and made innovation in the development of the industry.

Mechatronics

This distinction affects not only human life, but also the future of a country, so it can be said that the research and direction of the underlying technology are very important.
Not just a combination of machine and electron,

Fully integrated system for high function control.

Mechanics that began to be used by humans by inventing tools and tools have evolved into advanced machinery such as steam turbines and steam locomotives along with the industrial revolution. 

Mechatronics:

Mechatronics is a term that has been used since around 1970, and is a compound word combining mechanical and electronics.

Mechatronics system is not a simple combination of electronic and mechanical systems, but a fully integrated system for high-performance control.

Machines and devices designed by the recent mechatronics technology function as a system capable of performing a high-level function by integrating a high-level information processing function and a high-level motor function. Typical examples are automotive and robotic systems.

Electronics, information, intelligence, biological systems, etc.

Application to various disciplines, development.

Mechatronics is defined as 'a comprehensive integration of microprocessors, sensors and control theory, etc. into the mechanical system for accurate operation of existing mechanical systems'. It is a technical area in which various academic fields such as engineering are converged.

These mechatronics engineering has five components to assist or replace the work performed by humans.
① A mechanical part that combines several machines to perform the desired motion.
② A sensor part that converts the motion state of the device into an electrical signal.
③ A control part that processes various information of the mechatronic system.
④ A servo part that operates by applying force to the device.
⑤ Mechatronic system operation.
These components enable mechatronics of simple machinery, enabling high precision, miniaturization, high reliability, and flexibility that cannot be achieved with mechanical devices alone.

This is because the function of the control part, which is the brain of the mechatronics system, is programmed with software, so that various required operation algorithms can be performed only by program modification.

Due to these characteristics, mechatronics engineering is applied to various fields of study such as information, life, materials, aerospace, micro and nanotechnology, as well as electronic systems, information systems, intelligent systems, biological systems, and medical welfare. Through this,These components enable mechatronics of simple machinery, enabling high precision, miniaturization, high reliability, and flexibility that cannot be achieved with mechanical devices alone.

This is because the function of the control part, which is the brain of the mechatronics system, is programmed with software, so that various required operation algorithms can be performed only by program modification.

The mechatronics system based on the 4th Industrial Revolution, which will be achieved through the fusion of information and communication technologies, is a system that automatically recognizes the current status in real time beyond the control of the existing closed circuit and sets new targets appropriate for the current situation.

In other words, all data related to production and automation are built as big data of cloud computers through the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence

When the technology uses this data to determine the most suitable design and processing conditions, it is designed to monitor and analyze the product production or automation that meets the conditions determined by artificial intelligence and implement it through feedback.

Therefore, mechatronics systems will develop into the construction of artificial intelligence-based systems or IOT to implement products, and artificial intelligence-based systems. Representative examples are intelligent robots, autonomous vehicles, and smart factories.

It is considered that the advanced science and technology related to the 4th Industrial Revolution can determine the future of a country, so it is necessary to support creative education and research to develop a convergent and more intelligent system through a multi-disciplinary approach.
