It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

The idea of building a machine from isolated parts, each with its own setup and software, no longer fits how modern automation works.

Ask six engineers what a model is and you may get six different answers. In mechatronics, the word model carries a specific meaning, and modeling is perhaps the single most important activity in ...
