Computational Intelligent Techniques in Mechatronics
Description
This book, set against the backdrop of huge advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning within mechatronic systems, serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating the intricacies of mechatronics and harnessing its transformative potential.
Mechatronics has been a revolutionary force in engineering and medical robotics over the past decade. It will lead to a major industrial revolution and affect research in every field of engineering. This book covers the basics of mechatronics, computational intelligence approaches, simulation and modeling concepts, architectures, nanotechnology, real-time monitoring and control, different actuators, and sensors. The book explains clearly and comprehensively the engineering design process at different stages. As the historical divisions between the various branches of engineering and computer science become less clearly defined, mechatronics may provide a roadmap for nontraditional engineering students studying within the traditional university structure. This book covers all the algorithms and techniques found in mechatronics engineering, well explained with real-time examples, especially lab experiments that will be very informative to students and scholars.
Audience
This resource is important for R & D departments in academia, government, and industry. It will appeal to mechanical engineers, electronics engineers, computer scientists, robotics engineers, professionals in manufacturing, automation and related industries, as well as innovators and entrepreneurs.
