A PROJECT-BASED APPROACH TO DESIGNING MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS WITH NEW AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES In _Mechatronics for Complex Products and Systems: Project-Based Designs for Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins, and Other Emerging Technologies,_ distinguished 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 characteristics and innovation principles underlying mechatronic systems, including modularization, adaptability, predictability, sustainability, and concurrent engineering. A mechatronic system is decomposed into a set of mechatronic functional modules such as power systems, actuating systems, sensing systems, systems of signal conditioning and processing, and control systems. The author also offers: * A thorough introduction from classic integration of mechanical, electronic and electrical systems to more complex products and systems, including cyber-physical systems, robotics, human-robot interactions, digital twins, and Internet of Things applications * Insightful project assignments that help reinforce a practical understanding of a learning 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 mechatronic functional modules 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 digital technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
