Intro to Mechatronics

1. The use of technology to perform tasks with little or no human intervention.
6. System A mechanism that manages the behavior of devices, using sensors and actuators.
7. A type of motor used for precise control of angular or linear position.
9. The programs and instructions that control how a computer or microcontroller operates.
12. The design, creation, and use of machines that can perform tasks automatically.
13. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that integrates mechatronics by combining sensors, actuators, and control systems for autonomous or remote-controlled flight.
16. The part of a mechatronic system that interacts with the environment, such as a gripper or tool.
17. Technology that enhances or replaces biological functions using mechanical or electronic devices.
18. Related to machines or moving parts in engineering and automation.
19. A component that converts signals into physical movement or action, like a motor.
20. A device that detects and measures physical properties like temperature, light, or motion.
22. To send data or signals from one device to another.

2. A small, programmable microcontroller board designed for learning coding and electronics.
3. Where devices are connected and communicate via the Internet.
4. A small computing device that controls electronic systems, often used in automation.
5. The physical components of a computer system, such as circuits, processors, and sensors.
8. Relating to circuits, microchips, and digital technology.
10. A programming language commonly used for coding automation and robotics applications.
11. The set of instructions written in a programming language to control a system.
14. The engineering field that combines mechanical, electrical, and computing systems.
15. An electrical or digital message sent between components in a system.
21. Information that is collected, stored, and processed by computers and sensors.
