Learn about mechatronics from these online videos.
Because mechatronics involves motion, video can be the best medium for learning about mechatronics solutions. Control Engineering ’s educational video portal, CEtv, is the place to find videos from users, designers and automation suppliers. Visit www.controleng.com/cetv to see the following videos, new as of March 2008, or use the links provided below.
Thought-controlled wheelchair
