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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 is a design philosophy that emphasizesmultidisciplinary, model-based communication, collaboration,and integration from the start. Sustainabilityhas further challenged mechatronics to ...

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.
