How to create practical robotics and mechatronics

The experiential methods and basic ideas to create practical robotics and mechatronics are presented in this chapter. Robotics and mechatronics are based on several technologies. The most important technologies are mechanics, electronics, electrical engineering, and information technology. A prominent person sometimes creates and develops robotics and mechatronics alone; however, it is rare for a single person to produce them to a marketable level. Usually, a team is organized by engineers from mechanics, electronics, software, manufacturing, and business persons who direct the product development to the market. The author has experienced, that the optimal number of people to create new robotics and mechatronics is five.
