9、nd a simple computer can radically change the functionality of a machine. For example, consider a mechatronic clothes dryer. What is the function of a clothes dryer? To dry clothes, of course. Then ,instead of running the dryer for a set time, let the machine measure the moisture content of the exha

10、ust air, and turn itself off as soon as the clothes are dry.添加一些廉价的电子和一个简单的电脑可以从根本上改变一个机器的功能。例如，分析一下机电一体化的干衣机，干衣机的功能是什么？当然是干衣。不是运行一段设定的时间，而是在运行时检测所排除空气的湿度，当衣服干的时候自动关机。Unit 4 The mechatronic dryer saves energy, and wear&tear on your clothes. As a further refinement, the dryer can turn the clothes ove

11、r everyfew minutes so that they dont become creased before they can be removed. 机电一体的烘干机节能，减少磨损及撕裂你的衣服。作为它的进一步功能，可不停地翻转衣服使衣服没有被取走之前产生皱痕。Unit 4 Many early robots resulted from mechatronics deveopment. As robot systems became smarter, software development, in a addition to the mechanical and electrica
