IF you have been stumbling around with eye cream in your eyes for the last year you probably haven't read that Audi won the inaugural Award for Mechatronic Innovation to add to their other array of recent victories. For Audi’s dynamic steering, which handsomely demonstrates the innovation potential offered by the intelligent combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science. This award-winning technology ensures greater agility, comfort, and safety by intelligently varying steering forces and the steering ratio as well as via active stability control.
“The close intertwining of different disciplines and areas of expertise is a key innovation driver at Audi. This award is fantastic recognition of it,” says Dr. Ralf Schwarz, Head of Development of Chassis Control Systems. Dr. Schwarz accepted the Award for Mechatronic Innovation on behalf of Audi at the Association’s 2009 Mechatronics Meeting on Tuesday in Wiesloch, near Heidelberg in Germany. The Association’s panel of judges presented the award in recognition of a cross-sector innovation which constitutes an outstanding technological advance — made possible by pooling the R&D pursuits of mechanical engineers, electronic engineers, and computer scientists.
