Mechatronics is a subject that requires multiple skill sets. The subject, being interdisciplinary, includes the topics from Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering. This book contains information from the theory and the application point of view, for the design and development of a mechatronic system. The basics and their deliberations are dealt to the extent needed for the undergraduate studies of mechanical engineering at various universities. The self explanatory block diagrams and illustrations make the task of students very easy. The collections from various standard references have gone into the depth and presentation of the book. The author feels confident that this would end the search by the students for a complete book. The book is pedagogically structured with an elaborate question bank at the end. The publishers have put in honest efforts to bring out the book with clear cut sketches and minimum typographical errors.
