Mechatronics - Integrated Mechanical, Electrical, Control, and Embedded Software Design
Mechatronics is a system-level approach to designing electromechanical systems that merges mechanical, electrical, control system, and embedded software design. It represents an industry-wide effort to improve the design process by integrating the best available development practices and technologies to streamline design, prototyping, and deployment. If you design industrial machinery, equipment, vehicles, or other devices with moving parts and electronically controlled actuators, mechatronics technology may help you lower development costs, reduce risk, and produce higher-quality products. Featured ResourcesMechatronics Technical LibraryExplore the mechatronics resources from NI. View example programs for each of the mechatronics focus areas, such as mechanical or control design and simulation, sensing and signal conditioning, motors and actuators, or digital signal processing.
