The integration of mechanical systems and microelectronics opens new possibilities for mechanical design and automatic functions. After a discussion of the mechanical and electronic design the organization of information processing in different levels is described. Within this frame 'low-degree intelligent' mechatronic systems can be developed which comprise adaptive control, supervision with fault diagnosis and decisions with regard to the further actions as e.g. fail safe or reconfiguration. This requires the realization of knowledge based systems in the form of on-line expert steams with learning abilities. Some aspects of the design including modeling and estimation, control and supervision methods are considered. Finally as an example an adaptive suspension system for vehicles is shown which uses parameter estimation for adpative control and fault detection. Experimental results with a dynamic quarter car teststand show the improvements with regard to fixed suspension systems.
