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.

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 ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

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 ...

Cost reducing a design involves redesigning a working system to cut production costs. While the reasons for this are understandable, it often strikes engineers as a betrayal of the project they just ...

The top drivers in industry today forimproving development processesare shorter product-developmentschedules and increased customerdemand for better-performing products.As engineering systems become ...

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

With the annual RoboBusiness conference coming up fast (Sept. 23-24 in San Jose), I had a chance to talk beforehand with some of the participants. One was Matt Ondler, president of Houston ...

Mechanical + electronics = mechatronics. Simple. Yes? Actually, mechatronics covers a lot of ground and means different things to different designers, ranging from basic motor control of a single ...
