Mechatronics Questions and Answers – Mechatronics Design Process

This set of Mechatronics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Mechatronics Design Process”.

1. Which is the first aspect which needs to be considered in the Mechatronics design process?
a) Hardware integration and simulation
b) Conceptual design
c) Mathematical modeling
d) Modeling and simulation
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Modeling and simulation involve the representation of physical systems by suitable models for describing the behavior characteristics such as block diagram. Hardware design and simulation is a part of prototyping. Conceptual design and mathematical modeling come under modeling and simulation.

2. In the level of integration of Mechatronics system, an example of the first level is _____
a) Fluid valves
b) Automatic machine tools
c) Industrial robots
d) Microprocessors
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: First level of the mechatronic system is a basic control system which integrates electrical signal with mechanical action. An example of this level is a fluid valve. Automatic machine tools and industrial robots come under the second level and the microprocessor in the third level respectively.

3. Interface design is an example of hardware integration.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Interface design is a part of software integration which involves the Operating system. Hardware integration involves process design and electronic design respectively.

4. What is the role of the second level in the mechatronics system design?
a) Integrates microelectronics into electrically controlled devices
b) Integrates electrical signal with mechanical action
c) Advanced control strategy level
d) Providing artificial intelligence
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Role of the second level is to integrate Microelectronics into electrically controlled devices. Integration of electrical signal with mechanical action, Advanced control strategy, and artificial intelligence comes under the first, third and fourth level of mechatronics design respectively.

5. Microprocessor based electrical motors are used for ____
a) Prediction of fault in the system
b) Correction before a fault occurs
c) Actuation purpose in robots
d) Providing intelligence
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Microprocessor based electrical motors are used for actuation purpose in robots. The other functions such as Correction before a fault occurs, Providing intelligence or prediction of fault in the system is done using Artificial intelligence.

6. Deployment in mechatronics design is associated with the final product.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Deployment is the third main step in the process of a mechatronics design process. It is associated with the final product, Embedded software deployment, and life cycle.

7. Which phase of a mechatronics system consists of hardware designing?
a) Prototyping
b) Modeling
c) Simulation
d) Deployment
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Hardware design and simulation is a part of Prototyping. Conceptual design and mathematical modeling come under modeling and simulation.

8. What is the function of “analysis” in the modeling and simulation phase?
a) Database for maintaining project information
b) Sub models for eventual reuse
c) Contains Numerical methods
d) To produce high-level source code
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Analysis provides numerical methods for frequency domain, time domain, and complex domain design. Database for maintaining project information, Sub-models for eventual reuse are part of project management. High-level source codes are produced by the code generator.

9. Describing the behavior characteristics through block diagram is done in ____
a) Modeling and simulation
b) Prototyping
c) Deployment
d) Design optimization
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In Modeling and simulation, physical systems are represented by a suitable model for describing the behavior characteristics such as a block diagram. Hardware design and simulation is a part of Prototyping. Deployment is associated with the final product, Embedded software deployment, and life cycle.

10. Prototyping involves ____
a) Conceptual design
b) Replacing non-computer systems with actual hardware
c) Database for maintaining project information
d) Sub models for eventual reuse
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Prototyping involves replacing non-computer systems with actual hardware. Conceptual design and mathematical modeling come under modeling and simulation. Database for maintaining project information, Sub-models for eventual reuse are part of project management.
