Editing Mechatronics (section)

== History ==
The word ''mechatronics'' was registered as [[trademark]] by the company in Japan with the registration number of "46-32714" in 1971. The company later released the right to use the word to the public, and the word began being used globally.

With the advent of [[information technology]] in the 1980s, [[microprocessors]] were introduced into mechanical systems, improving performance significantly. By the 1990s, advances in computational intelligence were applied to mechatronics in ways that revolutionized the field.
