Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems

A project-based approach to designing mechatronic systems with new and emerging technologiesIn Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems: Design Approaches for Robots, Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins, and Other Emerging Technologies, distinguised 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 design principles underlying mechatronic systems, including axiomatic design, concurrent engineering, model-based design, and modularization. It also breaks mechatronic systems down into functional modules, including power systems, actuating systems, sensing systems, systems of signal conditioning and processing, and control systems.The author also offers: A thorough introduction of more complex products and systems, including cyber-physical systems, robotics, human-robot interactions, and digital twins Insightful project assignments that help reinforce a practical understanding of the 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 projects 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 Industry 4.0 technologies.
