The design process for any system can be considered as involving a
number of stages:
1-The need
The design process begins with a need from, perhaps, a customer or
client. This may be identified by market research being used to
establish the needs of potential customers.
2-Analysis of the problem

The first stage in developing a design is to find out the true nature of
the problem, i.e. analysing it. This is an important stage in that not
defining the problem accurately can lead to wasted time on designs
that will not fulfill the need.

3-Preparation of a specification
Following the analysis, a specification of the requirements can be
prepared. This will state the problem, any constraints placed on the
solution, and the criteria which may be used to judge the quality of the
design. In stating the problem, all the functions required of the design,
together with any desirable features, should be specified. Thus there
might be a statement of mass, dimensions, types and range of motion
required, accuracy, input and output requirements of elements,
interfaces, power requirements, operating environment, relevant
standards and codes of practice, etc.
4-Generation of possible solutions

This is often termed the conceptual stage. Outline solutions are
prepared which are worked out in sufficient detail to indicate the means
of obtaining each of the required functions, e.g. approximate sizes,
shapes, materials and costs. It also means finding out what has been
done before for similar problems; there is no sense in reinventing the
wheel.

5 Selections of a suitable solution
The various solutions are evaluated and the most suitable one
selected. Evaluation will often involve the representation of a system by
a model and then simulation to establish how it might react to inputs.
6 Production of a detailed design

The detail of the selected design has now to be worked out. This might
require the production of prototypes or mock-ups in order to determine
the optimum details of a design.
7-Production of working drawings

The selected design is then translated into working drawings, circuit
diagrams
It should not be considered that each stage of the design process just flows on
stage by stage. There will often be the need to return to an earlier stage and
give it further consideration. Thus when at the stage of generating possible
solutions there might be a need to go back and reconsider the analysis of the
problem. diagrams, etc., so that the item can be made.

Traditional Design V Mechatronic Design
The mechanical structure is designed first, and then fitted
with off-the-shelf electric motors, drive electronics,
Traditional- gearheads and sensors. Finally a control system is
(Sequential) designed and optimized for the already existing physical
system.
Approach Such a design method, that doesn’t consider aspects from
a control point of view during the design of the physical
system, is unlikely to result in a system with optimal
control performance.
