Mechatronics and the Design of Intelligent Machines and Systems

Mechatronics and the Design of Intelligent Machines and Systems reflects the primary areas of development in mechatronics and focuses on the higher-level approaches needed to support the design and implementation of mechatronic systems. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the importance of systems integration. Each chapter deals with a particular aspect of the design and development process, from the specification of the system to software design and from the human-machine interface to the requirements for manufacture and safe operation. Notable among this text's features is the use of a running case study--the autonomous robotic excavator LUCIE-to illustrate points made in various chapters.
