Say the word “analog” to most EEs, and thoughts turn to op-amps, power devices, I/O, or signal conditioning circuits. But, the system beyond the circuit is also full of “analog,” if we include ...

Automotive mechatronics and autonomous systems represent a confluence of disciplines—mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science—that is reshaping vehicle design and operation. Modern ...

What does a mechanical engineer need to know about control theory? More than he did ten years ago. The same is true for electrical engineers and their understanding of mechanical dynamics. More and ...

I am primarily targeting analog novices in this upcoming tutorial series because I see a great many designers in our industry who have expertise in the more digital, processor and software side of ...

An expert in micromechatronic systems, Tai-Ran Hsu explains the components of micromechatronic systems and those of mechatronic systems and design considerations. What is micromechatronics? A ...

Most engineers are surprised to learn that the term mechatronics isnearly 40 years old. It was first used in1969 by Tetsuro Mori, anengineer at the Yaskawa Company, to describe a system composed ...
