Meer over het boek

This work presents a comprehensive exploration of integrated product development and software engineering in mechatronics, focusing on early design stages and modular concepts for lightweight robots. It covers the integrated design of shape and function in mechatronic systems and features an integrated development environment tailored for these systems. Key topics include object-oriented behavioral modeling and the use of analog hardware description languages for simulation. The text delves into various drive systems, discussing characteristics of robotic hands, energy-efficient control techniques for hydraulic drives, and motion control for machine tool axes. In robot control, it presents frameworks for interaction control schemes, robust control implementations, and decentralized path control strategies. Applications of robotics are highlighted, including user-oriented automation in flexible sheet bending, smart welding in shipbuilding, and autonomous tool-movers for laser-cutting. Mobile robotics is addressed through remotely operated vehicles and innovative algorithms for walking machines. Modeling and simulation techniques are examined, with a focus on discrete electromechanical systems and optimization strategies. The development of control systems for hybrid drives and mechatronic modeling for vehicle convoy driving is also discussed. Finally, the text addresses real-time processing in robot control applications and
