The field of Mechatronics is rapidly expanding, and has gone beyond the traditional “synergistic application of mechanics, electronics, controls, and computer engineering in the development of electromechanical products and systems, through an integrated design approach.” In particular, intelligent micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and embedded and integrated hardware have become indispensable in mechatronic applications. Hence, a journal with a focus on research and new technologies of Mechatronics is a welcome addition. I congratulate the chief editors of this section, for their leadership and vision in this regard, which will make a significant impact in the field.

Scope
There is an ever increasing demand for higher performance and miniaturisation in mechatronic systems such as precision machinery, automotive systems, robotics, biomedical devices, and motion control. This demand is driving the development and integration of new mechatronic technologies for sensing and actuation, design and fabrication, and control. The Mechatronics specialty section seeks to identify the most outstanding new research and provide the highest possible impact by providing a short lead time to publication, rigorous expert review, open access availability, and excellent web visibility with open-access post-publication discussion.The topics of interest cover the field of mechatronics research with a focus on developing technologies with a high societal impact. These include: robotics, new actuators and sensors, guidance, control systems, mechanism design and optimization, MEMs, autonomous systems, biomedical systems, vehicle and flight systems, precision fabrication machinery, and high resolution motion control.
The goal of Mechatronics is to publish innovative developments with expert peer review and open access availability. This process will attract the highest quality research and will provide a short lead time to publication and the highest possible impact for new research and ideas. This approach will stimulate the development of new research and accelerate maturation into industrial technologies.
