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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

When Tetsura Mori, a senior engineer for Yaskawa Electric Corp., coined the term “mechatronics” in 1969, most people had no idea what it was. Today, it’s hard not to come across mechatronics in some ...
