Modern Design Methodologies and the Development of Mechatronic Products

Abstract: This article presents a quick view on the development of mechatronic products and how the techniques of Design Thinking, Concurrent Engineering and Agilism can be integrated to address this development. Design Thinking is employed in the early stages in order to better explore creativity, whereas Concurrent Engineering and Agilism are applied during the development of the product, in order to deal with emerging requirements, typical of the development of complex products.
