VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION APPROACH FOR MECHATRONICS BASED APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT

This research work has intended to identify the cluster of Mechatronics where the application of Virtual Instrumentation can be used. One can apply the concept of VI for developing different applications of Mechatronics like unmanned water, ground and air vehicles, robotics, machines etc. The graphical tool used in VI such as LabVIEW can be used in various applications of Mechatronics. The features in LabVIEW like faster programming, hardware integration, advance analysis, data display and user interface, stand-alone etc. because of which in became so popular among engineers for developing different applications of Mechatronics. It gives a better idea that how the concept of VI can be used for developing different applications of Mechatronics. Here in this paper author describes in detail by taking an example of Robotic Arm that how such implementations can be done using power of LabVIEW
