The mechatronics is about the mix of control, mechanical, electrical and computer systems. Those
solutions would so commonly get exposed to the internet and for such a reason they would deal with the
next phase of their development and deployment and that’s the IoT stage. It’s well known that a number
of sensors and the similar gadgets could improve any control system – especially if its designer has
developed the smart control algorithm. The real technological intelligence would usually get connected
with the adaptive systems getting the ability to deal with the unknown environment so intelligently. Right
here, we would illustrate how some mechatronics system appears and how it could get applied in an
industry. This illustration is provided through a Figure 1 as follows.

Next, we would want to deal with some of the bases of a
mechatronics concept. For instance, it’s quite clear that these
systems would use mechanical devices such as gears,
frames, metal objects, robotics arms and so on. Also, they
would get dependable on a power supply making these
solutions dealing with the electrical systems. Finally, their
control system would use the algorithm being saved within
some computing unit and that’s how such a solution would
apply the commands and follow the instructions. The block
diagram of such a mechatronics system is given in a Figure 2
as follows.
