Preface
This is the translated English edition of the book “Systementwurf mechatronischer Systeme” published by Springer in January 2010. For the motivation, background and concept of presentation, the obliging reader is referred to the preface of the German edition, which follows. Already in the course of preparing the German book and studying the vast literature in this subject area, I recognized that there still exists some room on the international mechatronics stage for the material presented in this monograph. Moreover, the many positive comments of colleagues and students on the German edition encouraged me to think of starting a second round with an English edition. From the very beginning, it was clear to me that such a project could only be successful with translation support from a native speaker having broad and excellent knowledge of engineering, and particularly mechatronics. Luckily, a previous stay at the Stanford Aerospace Robotics Lab brought me into contact with the best possible partner for this purpose: Dr. Kristof Richmond. As a fully bilingual native speaker, a highly qualified Stanford graduate, and an intelligent, critical, and altogether most clever scientific partner, he combines all of the talents which I did not really expect to find in one person. The joint work on this English edition was therefore extremely smooth, mutually enriching, and, in the age of internet and Skype, never bounded by the cross-Atlantic separation between Germany and Iowa.
