MECHATRONICS-INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES FOR INTELLIGENT MACHINES,Mechatronics synthesizes the disciplines of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to provide a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and tools used to develop mechatronic devices Co-written by mechanical engineering and electrical engineering professors who co-teach this interdisciplinary course, this text is designed for a first course in mechatronics. It contains numerous practical, classroom-tested examples, experiments, and simulations using SIMULINK, MATLAB, and LabVIEW, and presents material in a format that lends itself to project-based learning.
