Linguistic Elements
- Sender: The person who issues the message, whether verbal or nonverbal.
- Receiver: The person who receives the message and decodes it. The message can be interpreted in different ways. After receiving
Understanding Mechatronic Systems: Components, Control, and Applications
Understanding Mechatronic Systems
A mechatronic system integrates mechanical, electronic, and computational components into a single, intelligent system to perform automated tasks with precision. The following are key elements:
Mechanical Components
These include physical parts such as gears, motors, levers, or linkages. These elements are responsible for the system’s motion or mechanical actions (e.g., robotic arms or moving parts of a machine).
Electronic Components
These comprise devices like sensors,

The First Major Technological Revolution
The first major technological revolution was led by the printing press a few centuries ago. The press changed all the messages circulating in society: news, educational, scientific, entertainment, government measures, and religious and political laws. But what all text proposed was a change in thinking: reading in isolation, direct contact with the message, narration, and distance to the facts. Reflection and all the information, its dissemination from one

Control Systems
A control system is a rational and systematic set of equipment and human intervention, allowing the operation of a controlled system. It seeks to:
- Eliminate the influence of disturbances
- Ensure the stability of the process
- Optimize the process
Basic Automatic Control or Regulation Techniques
These techniques are based on feedback (feedback or closed loop):
- Proportional-Derivative (does not act alone)
- Integral (does not act alone)
- Mixed: PI, PD, PID
- All or nothing
- Floating
- Proportional in time,
Communication Technologies: Verbal and Non-Verbal
Communication Technologies
Communication is a process that involves the transmission of information from a point of origin to a point of arrival. Humans, as social beings, have a type of communication with complex and unexpected possibilities: communication through sign systems. Among these, the most potent is verbal language. Verbal language is the principal instrument of human communication in all its forms. It helps us to know ourselves and to discover the world around us. In the media, disseminating
