Two things are always in short supply during machine development: time and money. Traditionally, design of motion-based machines has been a serial process. The mechanical engineers would design the ...

With fully interactive products now the norm, mechanical-control circuitry has emerged as an integral part of embedded-system design. Although designers have since the early days of electronics used ...

An electronics' manufacturer needs to develop a laptop drive in less than a year. Student engineers want to build an autonomous convoy. A system integrator must design a servo system to machine ...
