Mechatronics for automotive and industrial applications

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary held, which offers low cost system solu tions based on the principle of homogenizing system components and conseque ntly to eliminate at least one material component or packaging level from t he system. This leads to a decrease in the number of interconnects between the mechanical parts and the next digital bus. This system approach shows, compared to the existing solutions, a higher functionality, more intelligen ce, and better reliability performance. The number of interconnects necessa ry to link a motor, or sensor, or an actuator, to the next digital bus decr eases, as the smartness of the devices increases.
