1. Mechatronics
In a mechatronic system, which component converts a signal into physical movement?
- Sensor
- Resistor symbol
- Actuator
- Comparator

Which is the typical order of data flow in a simple mechatronic (control) system?
- Controller, sensor, actuator
- Actuator, sensor, controller
- Actuator, controller, sensor
- Sensor, controller, actuator
