Practical Control Engineering for Mechatronics and Automation 1st Edition

Capture the essentials of modern control with Practical Control Engineering for Mechatronics and Automation, 1st Edition by Fernando Martell and Irma Y. Sanchez. This clearly written, hands-on guide connects theory to real-world systems, making complex concepts accessible for students and practicing engineers alike.

From the first pages you’ll find applied explanations of modeling, feedback, stability, and controller design, presented with industry-relevant examples drawn from robotics, manufacturing automation, and embedded systems. The authors emphasize practical techniques—PID tuning, root-locus and frequency-domain methods, state-space design—so you can rapidly move from analysis to implementation.

Designed for classroom use and professional reference, this edition balances rigorous engineering principles with approachable instruction. Clear diagrams, step-by-step derivations, and problem-focused chapters help readers build confidence in sensor and actuator integration, control loops, and system performance optimization. Whether you’re preparing lab projects, designing automated equipment, or refreshing fundamentals, the book supports immediate application across mechatronics, industrial automation, and control engineering roles.

Ideal for undergraduate and graduate students, instructors, and field engineers in North America, Latin America, Europe, and beyond, this title is a practical resource for those working with PLCs, motor drives, robotic manipulators, and smart systems. Written in a professional yet engaging tone, it bridges classroom theory and the demands of today’s automation landscape.

Add Practical Control Engineering for Mechatronics and Automation, 1st Edition to your technical library to advance your design skills, improve system reliability, and accelerate project delivery in the fast-evolving world of mechatronics and automation.
