A project-based approach to designing mechatronic systems with new and emerging technologies

In Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems: Project-Based Design Approaches for Robots, Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins, and Other Emerging Technologies, distinguished researcher Dr. Zhuming Bi delivers an expert discussion of real-world mechatronics skills that students will need in their engineering careers.

The book explains the characteristics and innovation principles underlying mechatronic systems, including modularization, adaptability, predictability, sustainability, and concurrent engineering. A mechatronic system is decomposed into a set of mechatronic functional modules such as power systems, actuating systems, sensing systems, systems of signal conditioning and processing, and control systems.

The author also offers:

• A thorough introduction from classic integration of mechanical, electronic and electrical systems to more complex products and ­systems, including ­cyber-physical systems, robotics, human-­robot interactions, digital twins, and Internet of Things applications
• Insightful project assignments that help reinforce a practical ­understanding of a learning subject
• Practical discussions of real-world engineering problems
• Comprehensive guidance on how to select the right type of sensors, motors, and controllers for a variety of mechatronic functional modules

Perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mechatronics, Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems will also benefit professional engineers working on interdisciplinary projects enabled by digital technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
