Robotics, Mechatronics and Intelligent Machines
A section of Machines (ISSN 2075-1702).
Section Information
Mechatronics technologies have evolved into indispensable components for the development of intelligent devices, machines, and robots that play a crucial role in supporting human life in our modern society. These applications extend across a diverse spectrum, ranging from assistive devices designed for elderly and handicapped individuals to cooperative robots employed by workers in factories. Moreover, mechatronics finds application in the automation of tasks within unstructured environments, including construction fields and farms, where intelligent mechatronic devices contribute to enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Subject areas include but are not limited to:
- Product development
