Abstract

Quand la méchanique, l'électronique et l'inforamtique s'allient, elles donnent naissance à un nouvelle science appelée mécatronique. Combinée au remplacement de transmissions mécaniques par des moteurs électriques, l'adjonctiond'intelligence dans les systèmes permet de doter ceux-ci de nouvelles fonctions. Ces développements s'appliquant aussi bien à des ensembles miniatures, tels qu'on les trouve en microtechnique ou en chirurgie, qu'á des domaines où règne le gigantisme, comme l'installation de fusion nucleaire dans laquelle les conditions de fonctionnement extrêmes rendent indispensable l'emploi de servo-mécanismes et manipulateurs.
