Abstract

Most engineered products/processes/systems have continually evolved to enhance their performance. However, they still need to further evolve towards having such characteristics as high precision, intelligence and autonomy. In this paper, an opto-mechatronic systems technology is introduced as one of the enabling techniques, for such evolution. It is an integrated multidisciplinary technology combining optical, electrical, mechanical and computer engineering fields, thus creating new value and functions as a result of integration. Such integrated technology is shown to be derivable from the key technologies of the optical and mechatronic engineering fields and to a variety of fundamental functionalities required to produce the systems. The obtainable synergy and the future perspectives of the technology are discussed in detail.
