Abstract :
The design and development of advanced and intelligent systems requires contributions from different technical disciplines. When the required cooperation is successfully achieved a whole range of competitive business options is created. Unfortunately such cooperation is not easily obtained. During the past 15 years the Philips Centre for Industrial Technology developed a strong mechatronics community. For this development the law of cooperation proved to be very suitable to guide the process. The basic aspects of this “law” are presented in combination with some of the technical results obtained during our development
