Mechatronics

[vnrobot]

Bishop (U. of Texas at Austin) cites the Yasakawa Electric Company in defining mechatronics as “technologies and developed products [that incorporate] more and more intimately and organically into mechanisms, making it impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.” His text contains 21 articles introducing the field in relation to its key elements of physical systems modeling, sensors and actuators, signals and systems, computers and logic systems, and software and data acquisition. The material in this text appear in a more complete form in The Mechatronics Handbook, co-published by CRC Press and The Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society.
