This book consists of papers presented at AUTOMATION2019, an international conference held in Warsaw from March 27 to 29, 2019. It discusses the radical technological changes occurring due to the INDUSTRY 4.0. To follow these changes, both scientists and engineers have to face the challenge of interdisciplinary approach directed at the development of cyber-physical systems. This approach encompasses interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge, numerical modelling and simulation as well as application of artificial intelligence techniques. Both software and physical devices are composed into systems that will increase production efficiency and resource savings. The theoretical results, practical solutions and guidelines presented are valuable for both researchers working in the area of engineering sciences and practitioners looking for solutions to industrial problems.

This book gathers papers presented at Mechatronics 2019, an international conference held in Warsaw, Poland, from September 16 to 18, 2019. The contributions discuss the numerous, multidisciplinary technological advances in the field of applied mechatronics that the emerging Industry 4.0 has already yielded. Each chapter presents a particular example of interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge, numerical modelling and simulation, or the application of artificial intelligence techniques. Further, the papers show how both software and physical devices can be incorporated into mechatronic systems to increase production efficiency and resource savings. The results and guidelines presented here will benefit both scientists and engineers looking for solutions to specific industrial and research problems.

This book explains that the coming years undoubtedly bring new developments in mechatronics. These advances are stimulated by the growing demand for intelligent, autonomous solutions in various branches of industry and consumer products. The development of economically justified new mechatronic products is not possible without the ongoing progress in manufacturing technology, metrology, measurements systems, new materials and control techniques. Those are the key for reducing costs and enhancing functionality of new products.  Therefore, the scope of the 5th International Conference Mechatronics spanned from advanced mechatronic systems to manufacturing processes. The new results of research in this areas are reported in this book. We strongly believe that the solutions and guidelines presented during the conference held in Szczecin (Poland) from 8th to 10th September 2021 are useful for both researchers and engineers solving problems associatedwith mechatronic products.

This volume presents the results of recent research, which supports the postulated transformation. It contains papers written by both scientists and engineers dealing with diverse aspects of: measuring techniques, robotics, mechatronics systems, control, industrial automation, numerical modelling and simulation as well as application of artificial intelligence techniques required by the transformation of the industry towards the Industry 4.0. We strongly believe that the solutions and guidelines presented in this volume will be useful for both researchers and engineers solving problems that have emerged during the recent crisis.

The idea of organizing the Polish Congress of Mechanics was born in 2005 among members of the Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The first Congress has been organized in 2007. In 2013, the organization of the Polish Congress of Mechanics was included in the statutory tasks of the Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. Referring to the splendid tradition of Polish Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, the Congress has become one of the most important international scientific conventions representing this domain of science and gathering every 4 years about 500–600 specialists, who deal with the issues of mechanics and mechanical engineering in a broad sense.

The organization of the Congress allows for the connection of many scientific communities, researchers, and engineers from various universities, faculties, research centers, and institutions. Such scientific meeting is an excellent place for presentation, discussion, and dissemination of new achievements and ideas relating to the theoretical foundations as well as practical applications of mechanics.

The Congress presents the current state-of-the-art research in all disciplines of classical and quantum mechanics, solid and fluid mechanics, computational mechanics, applied mechanics, and physics, as well as structural mechanics and engineering.

This book presents the result of the most recent discussion among interdisciplinary specialists facing scientific and industrial challenges. The papers presented during the Automation 2024 Conference deal with applying artificial neural networks and other machine learning methods in perception, modelling, and control, utilization of fractional order systems, and novel sensors and measurement techniques. Recent developments in robotics and the quality of exerted control and optimization are also prominent in this volume. Specific aspects of the design of diverse robots and their modelling and control are described in depth. We strongly believe that the solutions and guidelines presented in this book will be useful to both researchers and engineers during the development of automation, robotics, and measurement systems in a rapidly changing global industry.

This book presents the recent advances and developments in control, automation, robotics and measuring techniques. It presents contributions of top experts in the fields, focused on both theory and industrial practice. The particular chapters present a deep analysis of a specific technical problem which is in general followed by a numerical analysis and simulation and results of an implementation for the solution of a real world problem. The book presents the results of the International Conference AUTOMATION 2014 held 26 - 28 March, 2014 in Warsaw, Poland on Automation – Innovations and Future Prospectives The presented theoretical results, practical solutions and guidelines will be useful for both researchers working in the area of engineering sciences and for practitioners solving industrial problems.
