Introduction to Mechatronics: An Integrated Approach

這本教科書以一種整合的方式介紹機電一體化，涵蓋儀器儀表、電路和電子學、基於計算機的數據采集和分析、模擬和數字信號處理、傳感器、致動器、數字邏輯電路、微控制器編程和接口等內容。全書強調計算機編程的應用，包括用於系統建模、仿真和分析的Matlab；用於數據采集和信號處理的LabVIEW；以及用於Arduino微控制器編程和接口的C++。Samanta教授提供了許多例子，並附有適當的程式碼，用於仿真和分析，並詳細討論了每個部分所涵蓋的概念。該書還通過虛擬仿真平台Tinkercad來演示理論概念，以提供學生虛擬實驗室體驗。

Biswanath Samanta received B.Tech. (Honors) and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Southern University (GS), Statesboro, GA, USA. Prior to joining GS, Dr. Samanta held academic positions at Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA; Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman (offering ABET-accredited Mechanical Engineering program); and IIT, Kharagpur, India. His expertise and research interests include broad areas of dynamic systems and control, mechatronics, robotics and intelligent systems, advanced signal processing, prognostics and health management, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, and applications of AI in engineering and biomedicine. Dr. Samanta has developed and taught numerous courses in these areas and supervised students at both undergraduate and graduate levels (including 3 PhD and over 45 MS theses). He has over 150 refereed research articles published by professional bodies like ASME, IMechE (UK), AIAA, and IEEE, and other publishers including Elsevier and Springer. The papers are regularly cited by independent researchers in their publications (over 4960 citations). He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ASME, and currently the President of Robotics Technical Committee, Dynamic Systems and Control Division (DSCD), ASME. He regularly serves as a reviewer of technical papers submitted for publication in several international journals and conference proceedings, as an evaluator of book proposals submitted to different publishers, and as an examiner of PhD theses submitted to different international universities. He is also regularly invited to chair sessions in international conferences. He is on the Editorial Board of international journals as an Associate Editor, ASME Letters in Dynamic Systems and Control; Associate Editor, Neuroimaging and Neuromodulation (specialty section of Frontiers inNeuroimaging); Academic Editor, Sensors; and Advisory Board Member, Sci.

Biswanath Samanta在印度理工學院（IIT）Kharagpur獲得機械工程學士學位（榮譽）和博士學位。他是美國喬治亞南方大學（GS）機械工程系的副教授，位於美國喬治亞州的Statesboro。在加入GS之前，Samanta博士曾在美國Villanova大學、阿曼穆斯喀特蘇丹大學（提供經ABET認證的機械工程課程）和印度理工學院Kharagpur擔任學術職位。他的專業知識和研究興趣涵蓋了動態系統和控制、機電一體化、機器人和智能系統、先進信號處理、預測和健康管理、人工智能（AI）和深度學習，以及AI在工程和生物醫學中的應用。Samanta博士在這些領域開發並教授了許多課程，並指導了本科和研究生學生（包括3名博士和超過45篇碩士論文）。他在ASME、IMechE（英國）、AIAA和IEEE等專業機構以及Elsevier和Springer等出版商發表了150多篇經同行評審的研究文章。這些論文經常被獨立研究人員在他們的出版物中引用（超過4960次引用）。他是IEEE的高級會員，ASME的會員，目前擔任ASME的機器人技術委員會主席，動態系統和控制部門（DSCD）。他經常擔任多個國際期刊和會議論文的審稿人，不同出版商的圖書提案評估人，以及不同國際大學的博士論文評審人。他還經常應邀主持國際會議的分會場次。他是國際期刊的編輯委員會成員，擔任ASME動態系統和控制信函的副編輯，Frontiers in Neuroimaging的神經影像和神經調節專業部分的副編輯，Sensors的學術編輯，以及Sci的顧問委員會成員。
