Electromechanical to what direction?

Mechatronics is a set of machinery, electronics, optics, control, computer, information and other multidisciplinary cross-integration, its development and progress rely on and promote the development and progress of related technologies. Therefore, the main development direction of mechatronics is as follows:

Intelligent

Intelligent is an important development direction of the development of mechatronics technology in the 21st century. The research of artificial intelligence in mechatronics builders has been paid more and more attention, and the intelligence of robots and CNC machine tools is an important application. The "intelligence" mentioned here is a description of machine behavior. It is based on control theory and absorbs new ideas and methods such as artificial intelligence, operations research, computer science, fuzzy mathematics, psychology, physiology, and chaotic dynamics., Simulate human intelligence, make it have the ability of judgment reasoning, logical thinking, and autonomous decision-making, in order to obtain higher control goals. It is true that it is impossible and unnecessary to make mechatronics products have exactly the same intelligence as people. However, it is entirely possible and necessary for high-performance and high-speed microprocessors to endowed mechatronics products with low-level intelligence or partial human intelligence.

Modular

Modularization is an important and arduous project. Due to the variety of mechatronics products and manufacturers, the research and development of mechatronics product units with standard mechanical interface, electrical interface, power interface and environmental interface is a very complex but very important thing. Such as the development of power units that integrate deceleration, intelligent speed regulation, and motors, control units with functions such as vision, image processing, recognition and distance measurement, and various mechanical devices that can complete typical operations. In this way, new products can be quickly developed using standard units, and the production scale can also be expanded. This requires the development of standards for the matching and interface of various components and units. Due to conflicts of interest, it is difficult to formulate international or domestic standards in this area in the near future, but it can be gradually formed through the establishment of some large enterprises. Obviously, from the standardization of electrical products, serialization of the benefits can be sure, whether it is the production of standard mechatronics unit of enterprises or the production of mechatronics products of enterprises, scale will bring a better future for mechatronics enterprises.

Networking

In the 1990 s, the outstanding achievement of computer technology was network technology. The rise and rapid development of network technology has brought great changes to the daily life of science and technology, industrial production, politics, military affairs and education. Various networks will connect the global economy and production, and competition among enterprises will also be globalized. Mechatronics new products once developed, as long as its unique features, reliable quality, will soon be sold worldwide. Due to the popularity of the network, a variety of network-based remote control and monitoring technology is in the ascendant, and the remote control terminal equipment itself is a mechatronic product. Fieldbus and local area network technology is the home appliances network has become a trend, the use of home networks (homenet) to connect a variety of household appliances into a computer-centric computer integrated home appliance system (computerintegratedappliancesystem,CIAS), so that people at home to share a variety of high-tech convenience and happiness. Therefore, electromechanical integration products are undoubtedly developing in the direction of networking.

miniaturization

The rise of miniaturization in the late 1980 s, refers to the trend of mechatronics to micro-machines and micro-fields. It is called micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) abroad, which refers to mechatronics products with a geometric size of no more than 1cm3, and develops to micron and nanometer levels. MEMS integrated products are small in size, low energy consumption, flexible in motion, and have incomparable advantages in biomedical, military, and information. The bottleneck of the development of MEMS integration lies in the micro-mechanical technology. The processing of MEMS integrated products adopts fine processing technology, that is, ultra-precision technology, which includes lithography technology and etching technology.

green

The development of industry has brought great changes to people's life. On the one hand, the material is rich and the life is comfortable; on the other hand, the resources are reduced and the ecological environment is seriously polluted. Therefore, people call for the protection of environmental resources, return to nature. The concept of green products came into being under this call, and greening is the trend of the times. In the life process of its design, manufacture, use and destruction, green products meet the requirements of specific environmental protection and human health, are harmless to the ecological environment or do little harm, and the utilization rate of resources is extremely high. The design of green mechatronics products has a bright future. The greening of mechatronics products mainly means that they do not pollute the ecological environment when used and can be recycled after being scrapped.

Systematization

One of the performance features of systematization is that the system architecture further adopts an open and patterned bus structure. The system can be flexibly configured, tailored and combined arbitrarily, while seeking to achieve multi-subsystem coordinated control and integrated management. The second performance is greatly enhanced communication function, generally in addition to RS232, there are RS485, DCS personification. The future of mechatronics will pay more attention to the relationship between products and people, and the personification of mechatronics has two meanings. The first layer is that the final use of mechatronics products is human. How to give mechatronics products human intelligence, emotion and human nature is becoming more and more important, especially for household robots, whose high-level realm is human-machine integration. Another layer is to imitate the biological mechanism, the development of a variety of mechanical and electrical products. In fact, many mechatronics products are inspired by animals developed.
