چکیده

This article assesses the present situation of mechatronics in the Netherlands. After a short historical survey, it describes the postgraduate “mechatronic designer course,” introduced in 1991. It deals with the principles of this course and how these principles have been implemented. Also, the activities of the Dutch” government in cooperation with the industrial mechatronics community to enhance the awareness of mechatronics, especially directed toward small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s) is described.

Comparative Structural Analysis of 2-DOF Semi-Direct-Drive Linkages for Robot Arms - Mechatronics, IEEE/ASME Transactions on

This paper reports the first direct structural comparison of a family of two-degrees-of-freedom semi-direct-drive linkages for robot arms. One novel and three previously reported linkage designs were optimized and compared using finite-element analysis. The results quantify structural properties of the four optimized designs under variations in joint position and payload. Several frequently ove...

A Novel Omnidirectional Image Sensing System For Assembling Parts With Arbitrary Cross-sectional Sha - Mechatronics, IEEE/ASME Transactions on

In contrast with relatively simple cross-sectional shapes, it is difficult to discern misalignments in relative position and angular orientation between mating parts with complicated cross-sectional shapes. This is because geometrical uncertainties depend on the complexity of the shapes, and their assembly requires complete information about possible misalignments along their mating boundary in...
