Intelligent electronic design for mechatronic systems
Mechatronics requires the integration of a range of technologies from mechanical engineering, electronics and software, often with conflicting requirements. This problem is particularly complex with respect to the electronic parts of a mechatronics system where there are currently no computer-based …
