Abstract

This paper presents an overview of some of the main research lines in Mechatronics, under development in Brazil and the world. Three main areas are focused: Supervision and Control, Robotics and Instrumentation. For each area, we highlight the problems and tendencies for the future. Following the paradigm of “divide to conquer”, we present distribution and communication as the key concepts for the future.
