Short description Mechatronics is the design and development of computer-controlled mechanical systems, such as the fuel-efficient engine of today's family car. This comprehensive book brings together the knowledge and techniques of the major technical fields and explores the theory behind a wide range of basic devices. It then brings all this knowledge together in various motion control lab experiments, which provide readers with practical experience in designing circuits and writing software.
