Mechatronics and Measurement Systems Fundamentals, Applications and Innovations

Welcome to the world of Mechatronics and Measurement Systems! This book aims to introduce the exciting field of mechatronics and essential principles of measurement systems. Whether you are an engineering student, a practitioner, or simply curious about interdisciplinary nature of mechatronics, this book will serve as reference. Mechatronics, at its core, involves the integration of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer engineering principles to design and develop intelligent systems and products. It encompasses a wide range of applications, from robotics and automation to automotive systems, aerospace, biomedical devices, and beyond. Measurement systems, on the other hand, play a crucial role in modern engineering and scientific applications. Accurate and reliable measurements are essential for condition monitoring, control, analysis, and optimization of various processes and systems. In this book, we try to explore the fundamental concepts and techniques involved in measuring physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, displacement, force, and more. Throughout this book, you will embark on a journey that covers the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of mechatronics and measurement systems. We delve into sensors and transducers, signal conditioning, data acquisition, actuators, control systems, interfacing, and data analysis. Real-world examples and case studies will help reinforce your learning and provide you with the necessary tools to tackle engineering challenges. However, we have made an effort to keep the content accessible and comprehensible to readers from various engineering backgrounds. We would like to express our gratitude to the copious researchers, educators, and practitioners, who have contributed to the field of mechatronics and measurement systems. We hope that this book will ignite your passion for mechatronics and measurement systems and equip you to excel in this exciting field of mechatronics.Ni
