Abstract:
Mechatronics engineering study programs were established at German universities approximately 15 years ago. Today at about 50 universities of applied sciences mechatronics education is offered in undergraduate and graduate courses as full programs, majors or minors. In 2005 the MECHATRONIK e.V. – the mechatronics association in Germany - published a recommendation for undergraduate and graduate education in mechatronics, which defines minimum requirements to mechatronics study programs. In this paper the mechatronics study programs of a number of German universities are analyzed and compared.

Abstract:
Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary that includes a combination of mechanics, electronics, control systems, and computer science. The main objective of mechatronics learning is to establish a comprehensive mindset in the development of mechatronic systems. Project Based Learning (PBL) is an appropriate method for use in the learning process of mechatronic. The use of PBL by following the V model in system development process is expected to encourage the achievement of the main goal of learning in mechatronics lab. Demonstration of knowledge during the practical work done by drafting product development procedures documents, presentations, and project demo. The test result of mechatronics lab course based on PBL in Electronics Engineering Bandung State Polytechnic led to the conclusion that the model is acceptable and desirable to be passed with a few improvements. In addition, learners also feel there is a new challenge in following the PBL-based practicum.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new mechatronics laboratory for students in the 5th semester of the mechatronics degree course at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It is the aim of this teaching event to sharpen the appreciation of synergy effects in the development of mechatronic systems among the students. Despite of the great freedom in the development process, a concept has been evolved, which causes low running costs due to the combination of a model kit with rapid prototyping methods. A first pilot study of the laboratory starting in the winter term 2014 has shown that the students approach the task despite of the high level of difficulty with fun and dedication, especially because of the wide solution space which was unknown for them from previous lectures.

Abstract:
Mechatronics is a term created to represent the total technology of mechanisms and electronics. Mechanical engineering dealing with mechanisms has a very long history. Its recent organic combination with electronics has certainly brought about a striking advance in the functions and performance of machines. This striking advance lay in the background of the creation of the new term “mechatronics”. The initiation of mechatronics was no doubt due to the advent of NC machine tools. NC machine tools were accomplished by fusing mechanisms with servo unit drives and computer techniques. The technique using them was somewhat innovative in that servo units were driven by digital computer signals. Mechatronics is considered as essential to develop peripheral machines for computers such as plotters, printers and magnetic memories, and as an application to wire bonding machines and X-ray exposing machines in semiconductor manufacturing processes. For such machines, increasingly higher speed and accuracy are likely to be required, and engineering developments are actively underway accordingly. This special issue was planned to present the current status and recent trends of mechatronic research arid development in Japan. The contents can be classified into three categories. First, bearings and actuators as basic mechatronic elements are featured. For bearings, trends of research and development on magnetic types which permit ultrahigh-speed rotation and operation in vacuum in particular were chosen. For actuators, recent examples of research and development on ultrasonic motors, linear motors and piezoelectric actuators were selected. Second, this issue presents examples of development in the area of X-ray steppers, memory medium handling systems, and polygonal scanners. These are frontier mechatronic systems and the descriptions will be of some help in recognizing future problems in development. Finally, some studies from the point of view of force-torque control were selected. While conventional mechatronic control studies are primarily concerned with position and speed control, force-torque control is expected to become an important trend. I hope that this special issue will be helpful in recognizing the current situation and future trends of mechatronics, and contribute to future developments in this area.

Abstract:
This study develops teaching materials for mechatronics in higher education. Industrial societies require numerous mechatronics engineers, and most technical universities provide mechatronics exercises in their curriculums. However, it is difficult for teachers and students to modify and improve the mechatronic teaching materials because the provided materials are finished products. Therefore, a simple and inexpensive educational system is developed to overcome the disadvantages of the finished products. In this paper, an experimental apparatus is proposed for mechatronics education, and a practical example is presented that involves learning control methods, sensors, actuators, and mechanics.

In the conditions of the accentuated globalization and marked by a strong economical concurrence, the development of the present society imposes a new type of education. This must take into account all dimensions of the human being because our whole individual and social life is structured by education. The confirmation of the creative valences of Mechatronics in all fields makes possible the appearance of a new philosophy compatible with the actual technological and informatical development in society. At the base of the Mechatronics’ principles in Education is situated the development of the systemic thinking and the formation of the work abilities in team based on the informatics role in all fields. In mechatronic Education is followed by the formation of the information, mental action and social skills.

Abstract:
Recently, mechatronics as a self-contained discipline has undoubtedly shaped the development of technical systems. Mechatronics stands for the close interaction of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software engineering. Due to the advancement of information and communication technologies, the functionality of mechatronic systems will go far beyond current standards. The increasing complexity requires a consistent comprehension of the tasks between all the developers involved. Especially during the early design phases, the communication and cooperation between the engineers is necessary to design a first overall system model. In addition, reusing of once successfully implemented solution knowledge is becoming increasingly important related to the overall context of the triangle of tension formed by time, cost and quality. In our work, we will present an approach for the identification of reusable controller strategies for the system design of advanced mechatronic systems.

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of a study on using mechatronics to enhance the performance and reliability of small electric powered screwdrivers (SEPS). A mechatronic solution to control the final tightening torque replacing the mechanical clutch of a purely electromechanical SEPS is presented. Torque estimation methods based on motor armature current measurements are integrated with an SEPS driven by a direct current motor. Strategies for controlling the final tightening torque of the screw fastening process are developed. The control strategies are tested in accordance with the ISO 5393 standard. It is shown that the mechatronic controller gives comparable performance to a SEPS with a mechanical clutch. The mechatronic solution has the advantage of reduced cost, size and complexity. The paper demonstrates the application of low-cost mechatronics in industrial power tools.

Abstract:
Mekatronisen laitteen suunnitteluprojektin alku on kriittinen vaihe. Siinä määritellään laitteen vaatimukset ja suunnitellaan toiminnallisuudet. Seuraava vaihe on käyttöönotto, jossa testataan laitteen todellinen toiminta. Käyttöönotossa ilmenevät odottamattomat virheet johtavat suuriin kustannuksiin ja muutokseen lopullisessa toteutuksessa. Näin ollen mekaniikka-, elektroniikka- ja ohjelmistosuunnittelun vaatimukset ja rajoitteet tulee ottaa huomioon jo varhaisessa suunnitteluvaiheessa. Virtuaalisella käyttöönotolla ja simuloinnilla voidaan vähentää epäselvyyksiä ja ennaltaehkäistä virheitä ja niiden aiheuttamia kustannuksia. Siemens NX Mechatronics Concept Designer -ohjelmisto (MCD) tuo sähkö, mekaniikka- ja automaattisuunnittelun yhdelle yhteiselle alustalle. Tällöin eri osastojen insinöörit pääsevät kommunikoimaan keskenään ja näkemään ratkaisujen toimivuuden normaalia aiemmin. MCD vähentää suunnitteluprosessiin kuluvaa aikaa sekä mahdollistaa monitieteellisen yhteistyön, että virtaviivaistaa päätöksentekoa suunnittelun konseptivaiheessa. Ohjelmistolla on mahdollista simuloida mekatronisen laitteen todellista toimintaa ja suorittaa virtuaalinen käyttöönotto. Tässä työssä esitellään mainittu MCD-ohjelmisto ja kerrotaan sen yleisimmät toiminnallisuudet. Tutkintotyön sisältöä käytetään mahdollisesti koulutusmateriaalina
The beginning phase of a mechatronics design project is critical. All requirements and functionalities for the product are defined and a prototype design is built. Next phase is commissioning, where the actual operations and functionalities of the product are found. This is where unexpected errors are often detected, and the costs are multiplied compared to an earlier detection of errors. It is cost-effective and crucial to emphasize the importance of earlier phases and virtual commissioning in the mechatronics design project. This way all errors can be found as early as possible. Siemens NX Mechatronics Concept Designer (MCD) software enables multi-discipline collaboration for electrical, mechanical and automation design. This way different disciplines can deliver faster designing with fewer integration issues in the process. The software reduces product’s time-to-market and provides better decision making through concept evaluation. It’s also possible to implement a virtual commissioning of a functional model. The objective of this thesis was to present basic functionalities of the MCD software. The document presents all basic functions and can also be used as educational material in the future

Future robotics and mechatronics applications will require systems that are simple, robust, lightweight and inexpensive. A suggested solution for future systems is binary actuation. Binary actuation is the mechanical analogy to digital electronics, where actuators "flip" between two discrete states. Systems can be simple since low-level feedback control, sensors, wiring and electronics are virtually eliminated. However, conventional actuators, such as DC motors and gearbox are not appropriate for binary robotics because they are complex, heavy, and expensive. This thesis proposes a new actuation technology for binary robotics and mechatronics based on dielectric elastomer (DE) technology. DE actuators are a novel class of polymer actuators that have shown promising low-cost performance. These actuators were not well understood and, as a result, faced major reliability problems. Fundamental studies conducted in this thesis reveal that reliable, high performance DE actuation based on highly viscoelastic polymers can be obtained at high deformation rates, when used under fast, intermittent motion.
(cont.) Also, analytical models revealed that viscoelasticity and current leakage through the film govern performance. These results are verified by an in-depth experimental characterizion of DE actuation. A new DE actuator concept using multi-layered diamond-shaped films is proposed. Essential design tools such as reliability/performance trade-offs maps, scaling laws, and design optimization metrics are proposed. A unit binary module is created by combining DE actuators with bistable structures to provide intermittent motion in applications requiring long-duration stateholding. An application example of binary robots for medical interventions inside Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems illustrates the technology's potential.

Abstract:

The academic subject of mechatronics has been definedpreviously in numerous publications. This study aims atanalyzing mechatronics by using categories developed within theeducational science of Didactics. The result of the analysis,that relies on data from mechatronics education at KTH andother universities, shows that the identity of mechatronics canbe described as thematic, and the legitimacy as functional,which gives implications for the questions of communication andselection: what should be taught, and how. This is combinedwith a study of the evolution of the subject of mechatronics,where it is possible to see the gradually changing identity,from a combination of a number of disciplinary subjects to onethematic subject.

The first part of the thesis concludes that mechatronics isautonomous, thematic and functional. Teaching and learningmechatronics according to the identity and legitimacy of thesubject benefits from collaborative, experimental andinternational settings. The functional legitimacy todayrequires the collaborative and the international setting,meaning that the mechatronics employer requires these skillswhen employing a mechatronic engineer. Further, an exemplifyingselection requires the experimental setting, in particular whencomparing a representative selection with the reproduction ofknowledge, and an exemplifying selection with the creation ofknowledge.

To conclude, there are a number of important aspects to takeinto account when teaching and learning mechatronics. Three ofthese aspects, collaborative, experimental and internationalare suggested as important, and also a direct consequence ofthe identity of mechatronics. This thesis shows that thesethree aspects are indeed possible to integrate intomechatronics education, which will benefit greatly fromthis.

This thesis presents the development of a single-axis magnetic suspension. The intention is to use this system as a classroom demo for an introductory course on modeling, dynamics, and control. We solve this classic nonlinear controls problem with feedback linearization; the main advantage with this technique is operating point independency. However, it is highly sensitive to modeling errors and unpredicted plant behavior. We overcome these barriers by using a model based on both theory and experimentally determined behavior. This paper details the theory, modeling, and implementation, concluding with performance analysis.

Abstract:
The importance of mechatronics is evidenced by the myriad smart products that we take for granted in our daily lives, from the wall climbing robots to advanced flight control systems and multifunctional precision machines. The multidisciplinary mechatronic field offers optimum solutions to a multivariable problem. The technological advances in digital engineering, simulation and modeling, electromechanical motion devices, power electronics, computers and informatics, MEMS, microprocessors and DSPs have brought new challenges to industry and academia. Modeling, simulation, analysis, virtual prototyping and visualization are critical aspects of developing advanced mechatronic products. Competing in a global market requires the adaptation of modern technology to yield flexible, multifunctional products that are better, cheaper and intelligent. This presentation will examine recent advances of mechatronics in smart manufacturing and will examine (a) Development and implementation of original and innovative mechatronic systems, (b) Additional modifications and improvements to conventional designs by using a mechatronics approach.

Abstract:
A new model for professional development training in the field of mechatronics is presented in this paper. According to this model, students’ first steps in the mechatronic track will be made while they are still in high school. Here they will be exposed to the field of mechatronics, using basic engineering tools such as reverse engineering and design process procedures. Through the reverse engineering process students will get insight into how both everyday and hi-tech products are engineered. Students will study the basic building blocks of a system, how they are connected, and the kind of interfaces being used. In addition, the high school program will show students how a system is designed. The design process is based on engineering methodology, which includes writing specifications, seeking a few alternative solutions and choosing the best one for the given problem. After determining which is the best system, students build it using the available technical tools such as Lego® bricks and a Lego microcontroller. This basic introduction to mechatronics, when given to high school students, is liable to lead them to seriously consider this field when deciding about their future careers. Such a program will present students with an overview of the broad knowledge needed by mechatronic systems designers. The model presented in this article can be represented using the letter “I”, where the lower horizontal line of the letter symbolizes the high school program, the long vertical line symbolizes both basic and disciplinary academic studies, and the top horizontal line symbolizes the interdisciplinary mechatronic broadening.

The key areas of mechatronics which are studied in depth in this course are: control sensors and actuators, interfacing sensors and actuators to a microcomputer, discrete controller design, and real-time programming for control using the C programming language. The course is heavily laboratory-based with a two-hour laboratory weekly in addition to three hours of classroom lecture. The laboratory exercises include computer-aided control system design using MATRIXx, various analog and digital sensors, hydraulic actuators, DC and stepper motors, and computer control of a variety of physical systems. The unifying theme for the course is the integration of these key areas into a successful mechatronic design. Students are required, as a final project, to: identify a problem or need, analyze the problem, and write a problem statement; perform a state-of-the-art review; develop a list of specifications and identify the key specifications; generate an outstanding mechatronic-system conceptual design; and finally perform a detailed design of the system which may include model building and hardware development. Examples of student projects are described. This course should significantly enhance our design education program in the Mechanical Engineering Department and lay the foundation for the students to become mechatronic design engineers.

Abstract:
Increasing demands on the productivity of complex systems, such as machine tools and their steadily growing technological importance will require the application of new methods in the product development process. This paper shows that the analysis of the simulation results from the simulation based mechatronic model of a complex system followed by a procedure that allows a better understanding of the dynamic behavior and interactions of the components. Mechatronics is a design philosophy, which is an integrating approach to engineering design. Through a mechanism of simulating interdisciplinary ideas and techniques, mechatronics provides ideal conditions to raise the synergy, thereby providing a catalytic effect for the new solutions to technically complex situations. This paper shows how the mechatronic products can exhibit performance characteristics that were previously difficult to achieve without the synergistic combination. The paper further examines an approach used in modeling, simulation and optimization of dynamic machine tools and adopts it for general optimized design of mechatronics instrumentation and portable products. By considering the machine tool as a complete mechatronic system, which can be broken down into subsystems, forms the fundamental basis for the procedure. Starting from this point of view it is necessary to establish appropriate simulation models, which are capable of representing the relevant properties of the subsystems and the dynamic interactions between the machine components. Many real-world systems can be modeled by the mass-spring-damper system and hence considering one such system, namely Mechatronics Technology Demonstrator (MTD) is discussed here. MTD is a portable low cost, technology demonstrator, developed and refined by the authors. It is suitable for studying the key elements of mechatronic systems including; mechanical system dynamics, sensors, actuators, computer interfacing, and application development. An important characteristic of mechatronic devices and systems is their built-in intelligence that results through a combination of precision, mechanical and electrical engineering, and real time programming integrated to the design process. The synergy can be generated by the right combination of parameters, that is, the final product can be better than just the sum of its parts. The paper highlights design optimization of several mechatronic products using the procedures derived by the use of mass spring damper based mechatronic system. The paper shows step by step development of a mechatronic product and the use of embedded software for portability of hand held equipment. A LabVIEW based platform was used as a control tool to control the MTD, perform data acquisition, post-processing, and optimization. In addition to the use of LabVIEW software, the use of embedded control system has been proposed for real-time control and optimization of the mass-spring-damper system. Integrating embedded control system with the mass-spring-damper system makes the MTD a multi-concepts Mechatronics platform. This allows interface with external sensors and actuators with closed-loop control and real-time monitoring of the physical system. This teaches students the skill set required for embedded control: design control algorithms (model-based embedded control software development, signal processing, communications), Computer Software (real-time computation, multitasking, interrupts), Computer hardware (interfacing, peripherals, memory constraints), and System Performance Optimization. This approach of deriving a mathematical model of system to be controlled, developing simulation model of the system, and using embedded control for rapid prototyping and optimization, will practically speed product development and improve productivity of complex systems.

Abstract:
Based on extensive experience of establishing and teaching new mechatronic systems engineering courses and M.Sc.-degree program since 2006 at Lawrence Technological University, this paper concentrates on the integration of education and engineering research processes. The paper analyzes challenges such as the content of each academic course and cross-lists all the courses to provide the continuity of education/research process in the mechatronic systems engineering program, selection of modeling and design techniques, usage of software products in the courses and research projects, different educational degrees (including students with PhD degrees) and professional backgrounds of mechatronics students, domestic/international student ratio, and part time/full time student ratio. Based on the analysis of the challenges, a key plan for the education-research integration was developed and implemented. Details are in the paper.

Abstract:
Mechatronics is a field of multidisciplinary engineering that not only require knowledge about different technical areas, but also insight into how to combine technologies optimally, to design efficient products and systems. This paper addresses the group project based and problem-oriented learning approach in relation to a mechatronic education, which makes it possible for the student to get in-depth skills in the area of mechatronics very fast. The trends and applications of mechatronic engineering and research are illustrated. Control engineering plays a central role in this context, where the well established methods from control engineering form very powerful techniques in both analysis and synthesis of mechatronic systems. The necessary skills for mechatronic engineers are outlined followed up by a discussion on how problem oriented project based learning is implemented. A complete curriculum named Mechatronic Control Engineering is presented, which is started at Aalborg University, Denmark, and the content of the semesters and projects are described. The projects are all characterized by the use of simulation and control for the purpose of analyzing and designing complex commercial systems of a strongly dynamic nature.

This paper shows that the analysis of the simulation results from the simulation based mechatronic model of a complex system followed by a procedure that allows a better understanding of the dynamic behavior and interactions of the components. This paper will highlight the results of interaction between National Institute of Technology, (NITK) Surathkal, India and University of District of Columbia (UDC) in the area of Mechatronics and virtual testing. Mechatronics is a design philosophy, which is an integrating approach to engineering design. Through a mechanism of simulating interdisciplinary ideas and techniques, mechatronics provides ideal conditions to raise the synergy, thereby providing a catalytic effect for the new solutions to technically complex situations. Many real-world systems can be modeled by the mass-spring-damper system and hence considering one such system, namely Mechatronics Technology Demonstrator (MTD) is taken as the first example. MTD is a portable low cost, technology demonstrator that can be used for teaching mechatronics system design. The paper highlights design optimization of several mechatronic products using the procedures derived by the use of mass spring damper based mechatronic system. The second example is on web based virtual experimentation, where the experiment is conducted by remote triggering of Torsion Testing Machine. Remote triggered (RT) experimentation is a method of remotely controlling the laboratory equipment by an internet based system from a webpage. RT lab is an excellent way for the students to get access to expensive state of the art labs and equipment. The present work deals with the systematic approach of realizing a remote triggered experimentation on a horizontal torsional testing machine which can be triggered from a tablet PC or a laptop through an internet connection directed to the server computer system. RT lab algorithms are built in the server computer and the information and controls will be displayed on an html webpage where the experiment can be conducted. In this experiment the machine is remotely started through a command in the webpage which will be directed to the main server computer system from a wireless handheld internet enabled device such as laptops or tablet PCs and render the suitable graph of the experiment in the device. The experiment is completely in the control of the user. The person can either on/off the main equipment with the help of the device within the given slot of time and the data from the graph can be retrieved for further analysis. The first example uses a software platform of VisSim and the second example uses a software platform LabView. Although located in two different locations and countries, this paper examines the common mechatronics philosophy and the design approach used in modeling, simulation, optimization and virtual experimentation in building robust mechatronics product and procedures.

Abstract:
Development of mechatronic products is traditionally carried out by several design experts from different design domains. Performing development of mechatronic products is thus greatly challenging. In order to tackle this, the critical challenges in mechatronics have to be well understood and well supported through applicable methods and tools. This paper aims at identifying the major challenges, by conducting a survey of the most relevant research work in mechatronic design. Solutions proposed in literature are assessed and illustrated through a case study in order to investigate, if the challenges can be handled appropriately by the methods, tools, and mindsets suggested by the mechatronic community. Using a real world mechatronics case, the paper identifies the areas where further research is required, by showing a clear connection between the actual problems faced during the design task, and the nature of the solutions currently available. From the results obtained from this research, one can conclude that although various attempts have been developed to support conceptual design of mechatronics, these attempts are still not sufficient to help in assessing the consequences of selecting between alternative conceptual solutions across multiple domains. We believe that a common language is essential in developing mechatronics, and should be evaluated based on: its capability to represent the desired views effectively, its potential to be understood by engineers from the various domains, and its effect on the efficiency of the development process.

Abstract:
Mechatronics engineering is an emerging technology. New applications where a mechatronic approach is needed are added continuously. The demands to the education of engineers in this field are also increasing. Basically the challenge is to increase the content of the curriculum within usual study time. This paper presents a complete curriculum at Aalborg University based on problem-oriented and project-based learning from day one. This teaching approach has proven to be very well suited for mechatronics engineering as it provides the required holistic view of the multidisciplinary design process in a natural way. The trend and application of mechatronics engineering and research are illustrated followed up by a discussion on how problem-oriented and project-based learning are implemented in Aalborg with a number of project examples.
