Intelligentization of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment
Intelligence is a key direction in the development of mechatronic technology in the 21st century. Artificial intelligence is receiving increasing attention in research on mechatronic systems, with intelligent robotics and CNC machine tools representing important applications. Here, “intelligence” refers to the characterization of machine behavior—built upon control theory and drawing on new ideas and methods from artificial intelligence, operations research, computer science, fuzzy mathematics, psychology, physiology, and chaos dynamics—to emulate human intelligence, endowing machines with capabilities such as judgment, reasoning, logical thinking, and autonomous decision-making, thereby achieving higher‑level control objectives. Admittedly, it is neither feasible nor necessary to equip mechatronic products with intelligence identical to that of humans. However, high‑performance, high‑speed microprocessors make it both entirely possible and essential to imbue mechatronic systems with rudimentary intelligence or certain aspects of human intelligence.
