The integration of mechanical processes and microelectronocs towards mechatronic systems opens new possibilities as well for the design of mechanical components as for automatic functions. The contribution discusses first the involved mechanical components and machines and the ways of integration. Then the different automation functions are described in the frame of intelligent control systems which contain multilevel control functions, a knowledge base, and inference mechanisms. Multilevel feedback control for mechanical systems comprises lower level and higher level control, including e.g. nonlinear adaptive control and fuzzy control. The inclusion of model based supervision and fault diagnosis is a further development step. Two examples of mechatronic systems for cars are shown, like an adaptive suspension system and selftuning damping of drive chain oscillations.
