Abstract
Mechatronics is the integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and electrical systems coupled with intelligent computer control. Its main purpose is for the design and manufacture of industrial products, processes and operations but it is now used for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The typical mechatronics system consists of measurement system, controller and actuation system. Measurement systems consist of sensor and signal conditioning which usually processes and converts physical inputs into raw signals. The controller which may be in the form of microprocessors/microcontrollers interprets the signals and outputs it into the actuation system for corresponding action. One example of a mechatronic application is Micro-hydro power stabilization control using fuzzy logic. During experimentation, the fuzzy logic control provided more power stability compared to the system without any aid of control.
