Introduction to Autotronics,

bionics, and avionics and

their applications
Autotronics
Autotronics can be defined as the combination of automobile and electronics or we can say that the use of
electronics science in automobile vehicles is called autotronics. A lot of research and implementation had been
done in this context to make the design of automobiles easier.

The use of electronics in the automobile field makes the system safe, improved and efficient. In a vehicle almost
all significant parts are featured with electronic items.

New developments are coming very frequently in this field because there no limitations in the development of
new autotronics. It helps to improve overall automobile system.
The various systems of Autotronics
• Autotronic braking system/Electronic braking system

• Control of steering system

• Suspension system

• Transmission control

• Electronic control of fuel intake in engine

• Air Bag Deployment System

• Antilock or Antiskid Device

• Car Park Barrier

• Engine Temperature Measurement

BIONICS
Bionics is a common term for bio-inspired information technology, typically including three types of systems,
namely:
• Bio-morphic (eg neuromorphic) and bio-inspired electronic/optical devices,
• Autonomous artificial sensor-processor-activator prostheses and various devices built into the human body, and
• Living-artificial interactive symbioses, e.g. brain-controlled devices or robot

Application :

Avionics
Numerous and complex mechatronic systems are used in advanced commercial and military aircrafts. With the ever-
increasing emphasis on robustness and safety, there is a trend towards using more mechatronic systems in aerospace
industry. This has given rise to a new area of mechatronics in the form of avionics. The major applications of
mechatronic systems in aerospace industry can be classified as follows:
 Cockpit instrumentation
 Safety devices
 Wind tunnel instrumentation
 Sensors for fuel efficiency and safety
 Microgyroscope for navigation and stability
 Microsatellites
