Preface

Nowadays, it is current to define mechatronics as an interdisciplinary area of engineering that combines mechanical, electronic and computer engineering. The main objective of this engineering field is the study of automata from an engineering perspective, thinking on the design of products and manufacturing processes. Today, mechatronics systems are well established in a great number of industries such as automotive, aircraft, aerospace, machine tools, product manufacturing, computers, electronics, semiconductor and communications, biomedical, etc.

This book aims to provide information on mechatronics for modern industry with an emphasis on manufacturing engineering. Chapter 1 looks at issues of innovation, design and development in ...
