An essential reading for students requiring an introduction to this exciting area at undergraduate and higher diploma level.

Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering , 7th edition by William Bolton is the ideal learning tool to support you develop your skills in mechanical engineering, electronics and computing, and successfully design mechatronics systems.

The integration of electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, control and computer engineering Mechatronics lies at the heart of the innumerable gadgets, processes and technology without which modern life would seem impossible. From auto-focus cameras to car engine management systems, and from state-of-the-art robots to the humble washing machine, Mechatronics has a hand in them all.

This new and updated edition goes much deeper into explaining the very philosophy of mechatronics.

Key features include:

• an updated coverage of mechatronic system components,
• extended coverage of encoders,
• topical discussion and examples of neural control systems
• revised case studies across the text

Along with fascinating examples including automated guided vehicles, artificial hands, fuzzy logic washing machines, this text will help you to gain a modern and practical understanding of the topic.
