If you design mechatronic systems and want to learn more about using microcontrollers (MCUs) in your applications, then listen to our Design News radio program Tuesday, Jan. 24, at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

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 ...

With fully interactive products now the norm, mechanical-control circuitry has emerged as an integral part of embedded-system design. Although designers have since the early days of electronics used ...

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 ...

Mechatronics hardware design and architecture represents a confluence of mechanical, electronic, and computational disciplines aimed at creating integrated, reliable and intelligent systems.

An electronics' manufacturer needs to develop a laptop drive in less than a year. Student engineers want to build an autonomous convoy. A system integrator must design a servo system to machine ...
