Automation and Robotics

<p>This SI presents the latest achievements challenges and prospects for drives actuators sensors controls and robot navigation with reverse validation and applications in the field of industrial automation and robotics.</p><p>Automation supported by robotics can effectively speed up and improve production. The industrialization of complex mechatronic components especially robots requires a large number of special processes already in the pre-production stage provided by modelling and simulation. This area of research from the very beginning includes drives process technology actuators sensors control systems and all connections in mechatronic systems.</p><p>Automation and robotics form broad-spectrum areas of research which are tightly interconnected. To reduce costs in the pre-production stage and to reduce production preparation time it is necessary to solve complex tasks in the form of simulation with the use of standard software products and new technologies that allow for example machine vision and other imaging tools to examine new physical contexts dependencies and connections.</p>
