Human adaptive and friendly mechatronics (HAFM)

Mechatronics represents an engineering science paradigm, which brings out innovative ways to synergize multiple disciplines and enhances machine intelligence. Mechatronics supports new ways of thinking, innovations, design methodologies and practices to the develop new intelligent products and engineering systems, which concentrates on achieving optimum functional synergy, from the earliest conceptual stages of the design process. HAFM represents the new era of mechatronics, which provides new methodologies and tools to design and to build new human oriented machines and systems featured by harmony and coexistence with its human user. HAFM allows to create, design and support the development of new concepts for realizing intelligent human oriented machines that can think, coordinate and featured by interactive cooperation with their human users. This paper provides insight on the importance and evolution of mechatronics and the role of HAFM as a new era of Mechatronics.
