: Engineers define the system's objectives and create mathematical models (often using block diagrams) to represent the behavior of various subsystems.
A typical mechatronic system relies on four primary building blocks: What is Mechatronics? - Michigan Technological University
Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control to create smart, responsive systems. The field focuses on replacing traditional mechanical solutions with "intelligent" ones—such as a smartphone camera's autofocus or industrial robotic arms—that offer higher precision and lower production costs.
