With fully interactive products now the norm, mechanical-control circuitry has emerged as an integral part of embedded-system design. Although designers have since the early days of electronics used ...

As mechanical systems become more complex to design, build and deliver, OEMs and suppliers need to accelerate innovation, drive efficiencies and adopt the factory of the future. This requires a new ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

Say the word “analog” to most EEs, and thoughts turn to op-amps, power devices, I/O, or signal conditioning circuits. But, the system beyond the circuit is also full of “analog,” if we include ...

Mechatronics is the interdisciplinary collaboration of power, electronics, and mechanical systems, including embedded software and hardware — or, more simply stated, the convergence of engineering ...

The influence of global trends like electric mobility and the rising demand for consumer goods in emerging nations has made a lasting impact on technological developments by changing requirements for ...

Most engineers are surprised to learn that the term mechatronics isnearly 40 years old. It was first used in1969 by Tetsuro Mori, anengineer at the Yaskawa Company, to describe a system composed ...
