Foreword
It is an honour and a pleasure to write a foreword for the Mechatronic Futures book cleverly devised and edited by Prof. David Bradley and Dr. Peter Hehenberger. This contribution is written on behalf of numerous colleagues in the UK and the wider world who have supported the Mechatronics Forum in its mission and activities. Founded in 1990, this forum was formed as an interest group in the UK and is currently sponsored by and part of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), London. Over the years since its formation, it has enabled professional engineers from industry and academia to share innovative ideas in this field and has acted as body to champion the discipline. Mechatronics is a domain which spans most of my professional career and has been at the centre of fascinating technological developments and trends in the modern world. Mechatronic Futures reviews the origins of the discipline, explains the technological changes that have emerged and explores how mechatronics will further develop in future years, the challenges it will face and how it might need to respond in helping to address some of the grand challenges tha
