The term Mechatronics is a combination of the words
‘mechanics’ and ‘electronics’. It is the
blending of mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering into
an integrated design and implementation. Mechatronics systems
employ microprocessors and software as well as special-purpose
electronics.
The main objective of this interdisciplinary engineering field is
the study of automated devices (e.g. robots) from an engineering
perspective, thinking about the design of products and
manufacturing processes. Today, mechatronics is having a
significant and increasing impact on engineering – in the design,
development, and operation of engineering systems. Mechatronics
systems and products are well established in a great number of
industries, such as the aircraft, automotive, computer,
electronics, robotics/automation, manufacturing systems,
computerized machine tools, communications, and biomedical
industries.
This book provides details on recent advances in mechatronics, and
can be used as a guidebook for final undergraduate engineering
courses (for example, mechanical, electronic, computer engineering)
or as a reference to the subject of mechatronics at the
postgraduate level. It can also serve as a useful reference for
academics, mechatronics researchers, mechanical, electronic and
computer engineers, and professionals in areas related to
mechatronics and robotics.
