Though the term mechatronics was coined back in 1969, it is still tough to find easy-to-use electromechanical design tools that enable design optimization across engineering disciplines. Few machine ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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, ...
