Preface

Mechatronics and robotics have been widely used in many arenas, such as manufacturing, medical, and space. With the rapid development of mechatronics and MEMS technologies, a follow-up edition of the book Advanced Mechatronics and MEMS Devices is deemed necessary. The aim of Advanced Mechatronics and MEMS Devices II is to introduce the state-of-the-art technologies in the field of mechatronics, robotics, and MEMS devices in order to further summarize and improve the methodologies of mechatronics and MEMS devices. Advances made in the past decades will be well described in this book, including mechatronics, robotics, and MEMS-related issues. We would like to express our deep appreciation to all the authors for their significant contributions to the book. Their commitment, enthusiasm, and technical expertise are what made this book possible. We are also grateful to the publisher for supporting this project and would especially like to thank Marta Moldvai of Springer Science Business Media (USA) for her constructive assistance and cooperation, both
