Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice

Scope of the conference series

'Mechatronics' has become accepted for what it is, the blending of mechanics,
electronics and computer control into an integrated design.  Degree courses in mechatronics are now widespread.
 
That does not mean that mechatronics has lost its 'art'.

It continues to be the basis of an ever growing list of products and techniques of great technical and commercial value. Mechatronic design can result in products which are much simpler than their intricate and costly predecessors
and can make commonplace the miracles of yesterday.

Machine-vision has emerged from the laboratory to find real applications in areas
which include vehicle guidance, robot control and agriculture. Low-cost cameras have been developed for multimedia applications - but with their ease of interfacing they offer a whole new field of low-cost vision-based control.
