Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

The term “mechatronics” was coined in 1969 merging “mecha” from mechanism and “tronics” from electronics to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline that is the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term and of mechatronics itself has been growing in the years including new aspects and disciplines like control engineering computer engineering and communication/information engineering. Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain” but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices used in tight interaction with humans that are governed by smart architectures (for example for safety purposes). Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics through the contribution of researchers from different institutions providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields with attention to new fields of application new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available. The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction through robot control navigation planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans ultra-high accuracy model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms. | Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

This book introduces a new method based on algebraic inequalities for optimising engineering systems and processes with applications in mechanical engineering materials science electrical engineering reliability engineering risk management and operational research. This book shows that the application potential of algebraic inequalities in engineering and technology is far-reaching and certainly not restricted to specifying design constraints. Algebraic inequalities can handle deep uncertainty associated with design variables and control parameters. With the method presented in this book powerful new knowledge about systems and processes can be generated through meaningful interpretation of algebraic inequalities. This book demonstrates how the generated knowledge can be put into practice through covering the algebraic inequalities suitable for interpretation in different contexts and describing how to apply this knowledge to enhance system and process performance. Depending on the specific interpretation knowledge applicable to different systems from different application domains can be generated from the same algebraic inequality. Furthermore an important class of algebraic inequalities has been introduced that can be used for optimising systems and processes in any area of science and technology provided that the variables and the separate terms of the inequalities are additive quantities. With the presented various examples and solutions this book will be of interest to engineers students and researchers in the field of optimisation engineering design reliability engineering risk management and operational research. | Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge
