4. Mechatronics fields of study

The aim of the study of mechatronic systems is not to deal with the specific aspects of each component or technology, which can be found in the various document bases of Techniques de l'Ingénieur, but with the particularities of fusion and integration of these elements linked together in a mechatronic system.

• Sensor integration and acquisition functions

  Developing flexible, adaptive machines and products (for production, operators, etc.) implies a growing need for sensors. The aim is to study the issues involved in integrating sensors (miniaturization, compactness, encapsulation) within the framework of specific use constraints, and to address aspects linked to their power supply (autonomous sensors), levels of local intelligence, advanced communication functions, signal extraction and processing.
