Mechatronics is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of engineering. It deals with the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, control engineering, computer technology and microprocessors in the development of electromechanical products, through a unified design approach. Therefore, the study of mechatronics systems requires a multidisciplinary approach. This textbook is geared towards this focus and written for engineering students and for those wishing to gain a sound knowledge and understanding of the principles of mechatronics systems and engineering.
