Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical Systems within the Domain of the Internet of Things

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

There has been a shift in emphasis within systems from hardware-oriented to more software-oriented topics integrated in an overlaying communication framework (e.g., cloud-based services). This chapter presents current research in the field of the interaction between mechatronic and cyber-physical systems. It presents solution basics design methods that are illustrated by some real-world applications. The discussed case studies (Smart Home, Bio-mechatronic Systems, Cyber-Physical Production System, Data-driven analysis) provide illustration of applications involving different functional distributions of activity between the 4 key elements of people, data, mechatronics and cyber-physical system.

Notes

  1. 1.

    “The Internet of Things refers to a state where Things (i.e. objects, environments, vehicles and clothing) will have more and more information associated with them and the ability to sense, communicate, network and produce new information, becoming an integral part of the Internet” [1].
