mechatronics
(mek.uh.TRON.iks)
n.
A branch of engineering that unites the principles of mechanics and electronics.
— mechatronic, adj.
Example Citation:
Power-by-wire (electronic engine control), shift-by-wire (mechatronic shifting of the transmission), brake-by-wire (electronically-controlled disc brakes) and steer-by-wire (mechatronic steering) have been brought together to produce seamless drive-by-wire.
Whereas until now electronic control units have usually only had an effect on individual components, in the case of drive-by-wire a central computer, the PowertrainController, controls every aspect of vehicle handling.
— Geoff Paradise, "Star gazing — The way is clear for Mercedes," The Daily Telegraph, April 27, 2002
Earliest Citation:
The fair features introduction of the so-called "mechatronics" products — unification of machinery and electronics, and a focus on high speed and high productivity.
