Mechatronics, robotics and components for automation and control IFAC milestone report

This paper presents a general overview of the technological fields of mechatronic, robotic, components for automation and control. Five technical areas are considered: component and instruments, mechatronic, robotics, cost oriented automation and human-machine systems. The paper addresses their current key problems and the recent major accomplishments. At last the most promising forecasted development and applications are considered.
