Automatic Control Systems provides engineers with a fresh new controls book that places special emphasis on mechatronics. It follows a revolutionary approach by actually including a physical lab. In addition, readers will find authoritative coverage of modern design tools and examples. Current mechatronics applications build motivation to learn the material. Extensive use of virtual lab software is also integrated throughout the chapters. Engineers will gain a strong understand of control systems with the help of modern examples and exercises.
I read this book a part of my Bachelors course on Linear Control Systems. It was prescribed as a text book but I used it more like a reference. I do not remember much about the contents of the book, but the course sure was fun.
