Mechatronics

herausgegeben von J. Paulo Davim
The term Mechatronics is a combination of the words„mechanics“ and „electronics“. It is theblending of mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering intoan integrated design and implementation. Mechatronics systemsemploy microprocessors and software as well as special-purposeelectronics.
The main objective of this interdisciplinary engineering field isthe study of automated devices (e. g. robots) from an engineeringperspective, thinking about the design of products andmanufacturing processes. Today, mechatronics is having asignificant and increasing impact on engineering - in the design, development, and operation of engineering systems. Mechatronicssystems and products are well established in a great number ofindustries, such as the aircraft, automotive, computer, electronics, robotics/automation, manufacturing systems, computerized machine tools, communications, and biomedicalindustries.
This book provides details on recent advances in mechatronics, andcan be used as a guidebook for final undergraduate engineeringcourses (for example, mechanical, electronic, computer engineering)or as a reference to the subject of mechatronics at thepostgraduate level. It can also serve as a useful reference foracademics, mechatronics researchers, mechanical, electronic andcomputer engineers, and professionals in areas related tomechatronics and robotics.
