Synopsis

The Proceedings volume of the 1st IFAC Conference on Mechatronic Systems consists of 3 plenary lectures, 148 paper presentations, 29 poster presentations and 3 discussion sessions.


The goal of the conference was to bring together experts from different areas to give an overview of the state-of-the-art and to present new research results and perspectives of the future development in this interdisciplinary field of mechatronic systems. Based on 8000 printed call for papers and invited papers 241 contributions were obtained and 197 contributions were selected from 27 countries.


The Proceedings volume is grouped into topics as follows: Plenary Papers, Mechatronic Systems, Mechatronic Components, Robots and Walking Machines, Design of Mechatronic Systems, Automatic Control of Mechatronic Systems, General Mechatronic Issues and Summaries of the Conference.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Many processes and systems manifest an increasing integration of mechanical and electronic components with information processing capacity. The development of such mechatronic systems opens the way to many innovative solutions not possible with mechanics or electronics alone.

Mechatronic Systems introduces these developments by considering the dynamic modelling of components together with their interactions. The whole range of elements is presented from actuators, through different kinds of processes, to sensors.

 

Structured tutorial style takes learning from the basics of unified theoretical modelling, through information processing to examples of system development.

 

End-of-chapter exercises provide ready-made homework or self-tests.

 

Offers practical advice for engineering derived from experience with real systems and application-oriented research.

 

Written by one of the World's leading experts in this progressive field, Mechatronic Systems will be of great value to advanced students working in control, electrical and mechanical engineering and in areas where such definitions are being superseded. It will also prove useful to practising engineers wanting an in-depth understanding of how these disciplines and that of information processing are becoming interlinked.

About the Author

Rolf Isermann is one of the leading academic figures associated with the novel and increasingly important field of mechatronics the most popular definition of which is:

Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacture of products and processes

He was chair of the 1st IFAC conference on Mechatronics. He has worked extensively with industry in recent years especially in the automotive sector. He is a fellow of the IEEE and a member of the IFAC general council.
