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

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 ...

Too often, machine design is based simply on cost, because money is easier to understand than the stated performances. Mechatronics provides the engineer with the ability to choose products from a ...

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

A new study, “System Design: New Product Development for Mechatronics,” implies it’s make-or-break time to get on board with design simulation tools. (See “How the best do it,” Mar. 6, 2008, Machine ...

An electronics' manufacturer needs to develop a laptop drive in less than a year. Student engineers want to build an autonomous convoy. A system integrator must design a servo system to machine ...

Experienced packaging professionals know that buzzwords, like rock bands, can dramatically and rapidly rise and fall in popularity. Still, the noise of publicity can sometimes obscure a strong, ...
