PORTLAND, Ore. — Simplifying the development of mechatronics, the combination of mechanical and electronincs engineering, is the goal of a new design language extension released Wednesday (Oct. 8) by ...

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 ...

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.

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

Increasingly, engineering educators see the value of teachingcollege students the multidisciplinary skills of mechatronics design.Many, however, are intimidated by the time and expense of creating ...
