Upstream Design of Product Development and Case study

Abstract

Most of the mechatronic equipment is systemized and controlled by software. However, its start is from design work based on the required specification. This design work is carried out through three stages of concept design, basic design and detailed design. And design verification is repeated so as not to cause backtracking work at the design stage. In this report, we introduce concrete method of upstream design of mechatronic equipment development and case examples of in-pipe mobile robot with wheel drive mechanism designed using this method.
