About Mechatronics & Robotics
Mechatronics and robotics combine mechanical engineering, electronics, and control systems to create intelligent, automated machines. This interdisciplinary field focuses on the integration of mechanical structures with actuators, sensors, and control algorithms to achieve precise motion, force, and system behavior.
The calculators in this category support engineering analysis of robotic mechanisms, electromechanical drives, and motion systems. Tools are designed to assist with kinematic relationships, basic dynamic estimations, actuator sizing, and performance evaluation of robotic and mechatronic components.
Typical applications include industrial robots, automated production systems, mobile robots, robotic manipulators, and precision positioning devices. The calculators provide fast engineering insight for both conceptual design and early-stage verification, helping engineers validate assumptions before detailed simulation or prototyping.
FAQ
Mechatronics focuses on the integration of mechanical systems with electronics and control, while robotics is a specialized application of mechatronics dealing with autonomous or semi-autonomous machines capable of motion and interaction with their environment.
Calculations include kinematics of robotic mechanisms, actuator and motor sizing, basic dynamic estimations, motion parameters, and simplified control-related quantities used in early design stages.
The calculators are suitable for preliminary design, concept validation, and educational purposes. Final industrial robot design typically requires detailed dynamic modeling and specialized simulation software.
The calculators focus on mechanical and electromechanical aspects. Control system design is addressed at a fundamental level, such as basic motion parameters, but advanced controller tuning is outside the scope.
Yes. The calculators can be applied to mobile robots, collaborative robots (cobots), and other automated systems where mechanical motion, actuation, and basic dynamics need to be evaluated.
