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 ...

To improve the design of consumer goods and industrial motion setups, engineers have embraced mechatronics — but have had to develop techniques to deliver on its promises of flexibility and ...

The top drivers in industry today forimproving development processesare shorter product-developmentschedules and increased customerdemand for better-performing products.As engineering systems become ...

Two things are always in short supply during machine development: time and money. Traditionally, design of motion-based machines has been a serial process. The mechanical engineers would design the ...

Mechatronics hardware design and architecture represents a confluence of mechanical, electronic, and computational disciplines aimed at creating integrated, reliable and intelligent systems.

If you design mechatronic systems and want to learn more about using microcontrollers (MCUs) in your applications, then listen to our Design News radio program Tuesday, Jan. 24, at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

Though mechatronics promises more efficient machines at alower cost, following the mechatronics' approach of integrated designhas been challenging for most machine builders. The premise ofmechatronics ...

Ultimately, the value of mechatronics lies not in any single technology but in what happens when all elements come together. Machines built as unified systems are easier to develop, tune and maintain.
