Mechatronic Futures

Abstract

Mechatronics may be defined as an interdisciplinary field of engineering science which aims to mutually integrate and interconnect mechanical engineering, electrical engineering/electronics and computer science (also often called information technology) such that the interactions constitute the basis for the design of successful products.
