With the rapid development of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing technology，intelligent manufacturing technology has become an objective trend of the development of the worlds manufacturing industry，and the worlds major industrialized countries are vigorously promoting and applying it.At present，with the rise of labor cost，the gradual disappearance of demographic dividend，the transformation of production mode to flexible，intelligent and refined direction，it is urgent to build a new intelligent manufacturing system.The development of intelligent manufacturing is not only in line with the internal requirements of the development of Chinas manufacturing industry，but also an inevitable choice to reshape the new advantages and realize transformation and upgrading of Chinas manufacturing industry."Made in China 2025"proposes to take intelligent manufacturing as the main direction of deep integration of industrialization and information technology，and raises the intelligent manufacturing industry to the level of national strategy.
Intelligent control technology is an important part of intelligent manufacturing technology，which refers to the network and information integration of industrial robots，traditional automation equipment and advanced manufacturing equipment.Intelligent control technology is the combination of mechanical and electronic engineering technology and control technology，including the design and simulation of intelligent system，intelligent system maintenance，system operation，test analysis and management.
In the critical stage of the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry，more and more enterprises will face the awkward situation of "easy to get equipment，difficult to find talents".Therefore，to achieve intelligent manufacturing，talent cultivation should go first.According to the guidance for talent development planning of manufacturing industry jointly issued by the Ministry of Education,the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology，we should vigorously cultivate talents in need of technical skills in ten key areas of manufacturing industry，and strengthen the construction of teaching resources and basic platform for vocational skills training.In order to better promote the application of intelligent control technology，it is necessary to write a comprehensive introduction textbook of intelligent control technology.
This book is written to meet the needs of the training of application talents in the field of intelligent control technology.It aims to cultivate and improve the English proficiency of intelligent control technology for readers，and to enable readers to master the English knowledge and basic theory of intelligent control technology.This book consists of 15 units，covering the main technical branches in the field of intelligent control，including intelligent manufacturing，mechatronics technology，industrial control technology，industrial robot technology，etc.
This book is rich in illustrations，easy to understand and practical.It can be used not only as a professional English textbook for intelligent control technology，mechanical electronics，electrical automation and industrial robot technology，but also as a reference for technical personnel engaged in related fields.In order to improve the teaching effect，it is suggested to adopt heuristic teaching，open learning and group discussion；in the learning process,it is suggested to combine the supporting teaching auxiliary resources of this book，such as teaching courseware，video materials，teaching reference and expansion materials,etc.
Due to the limited level and time of the editor,there may be some mistakes in the book.Please comment and correct.Any comments and suggestions are welcome and can be fed back to e-mail：market@jijiezhi.com.



隨著新一代信息技術與制造技術的飛速發(fā)展，智能制造技術已成為世界制造業(yè)發(fā)展的客觀趨勢，世界上主要工業(yè)發(fā)達國家正在大力推廣和應用。當前，隨著我國勞動力成本上升，人口紅利的逐漸消失，生產(chǎn)方式向柔性化、智能化、精細化方向轉變，構建新型智能制造體系迫在眉睫。發(fā)展智能制造既符合我國制造業(yè)發(fā)展的內在要求，也是重塑我國制造業(yè)新優(yōu)勢、實現(xiàn)轉型升級的必然選擇�！吨袊�制造2025》提出將智能制造作為工業(yè)化、信息化深度融合的主攻方向，將智能制造產(chǎn)業(yè)上升到國家戰(zhàn)略層面。
智能控制技術是智能制造技術的重要組成部分，是指對工業(yè)機器人、傳統(tǒng)自動化設備、先進制造裝備進行網(wǎng)絡化、信息化集成。智能控制技術是機械電子工程技術與控制技術相結合的產(chǎn)物，具體內容包括對智能系統(tǒng)的設計與仿真，智能系統(tǒng)維護、系統(tǒng)運行、試驗分析與管理。
在傳統(tǒng)制造業(yè)轉型升級的關鍵階段，越來越多的企業(yè)將面臨設備易得、人才難求的尷尬局面。因此，要實現(xiàn)智能制造，人才培養(yǎng)要先行。教育部、人力資源和社會保障部、工業(yè)和信息化部編制的《制造業(yè)人才發(fā)展規(guī)劃指南》指出，要面向制造業(yè)十大重點領域大力培養(yǎng)技術技能緊缺人才，加強職業(yè)技能培訓教學資源和基礎平臺建設。針對這一現(xiàn)狀，為了更好地推廣智能控制技術的應用，亟須編寫一本系統(tǒng)、全面的智能控制技術的入門教材。
本書針對智能控制技術專業(yè)應用人才培養(yǎng)的需要而編寫，以培養(yǎng)和提高讀者的智能控制技術專業(yè)英語能力為目標，旨在使讀者掌握智能控制技術專業(yè)的英語知識和基礎理論。本書由15個單元組成，內容涵蓋了智能控制領域的主要技術分支，包括智能制造、機電一體化技術、工業(yè)控制技術、工業(yè)機器人技術等。
本書圖文并茂，通俗易懂，實用性強，既可作為智能控制技術、機械電子、電氣自動化及工業(yè)機器人技術等相關專業(yè)的專業(yè)英語教材，也可供從事相關工作的技術人員參考使用。為了提高教學效果，在教學方法上，建議采用啟發(fā)式教學，開放性學習，重視小組討論；在學習過程中，建議結合本書配套的教學輔助資源，如教學課件、視頻素材、教學參考與拓展資料等。
由于編者水平及時間有限，書中難免存在不足之處，敬請讀者批評指正。任何意見和建議可反饋至E-mail：market@jijiezhi.com。
