Abstract :
Mechatronics is emerging as a concurrent-engineering thinking framework in the process of designing complex machines. It is argued that mechatronics can be defined as the science of motion control. The different steps in the evolution from smart machines to intelligent autonomous systems are discussed and illustrated with many examples, mainly taken from the author´s research experience.
