Abstract

The paper covers at first a few different definitions of mechatronics, illustrated with figures and schemes. Furthermore, main research areas of mechatronics are sketched, among which there are the applications of new, so-called, “intelligent” materials and new control and communication methods to be used by human operators. The main goal of these works is to obtain mechatronic devices smart in mechanics and intelligent in communication with the user. In this paper, the basic properties of such “smart” materials like piezoelectric crystals, magnetic shape memory alloys, and magnetorheological fluids are presented. Theoretical review is followed with practical examples of mechatronic devices developed in Division of Mechatronic Devices at Poznan University of Technology (PUT), in which the abovementioned materials are used and applied in new type of actuators.
