International Conference On Reliable Systems Engineering Icorse 2023

This book comprises state-of-the-art research results in the field of mechatronics and other closely related areas and that will be presented on occasion of the third “International Conference of Reliable Systems Engineering (ICoRSE 2023)” that will take place in Bucharest, Romania, between 07–08 September 2023. The first two ICoRSE editions brought together professors, Ph.D. students, and researchers in Europe, North America, and Asia, in countries such as: England, Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. In this year’s edition of the conference, we have benefitted from the inclusion in the scientific committee of the conference of professors in all of these countries, and we cover a wide variety of topics, such as: theoretical and applied mechanics; cyber-physical systems, robotics, smart bio-medical and bio-mechatronic systems, new and intelligent materials and structures, modelling and simulation in mechanics and mechatronics, smart mechatronic production and control system, optics, control systems, big data modelling, micro- and nanotechnology, automation, manufacturing optimization, and other. Since the book ́s chapters represent contributions of scholars who work in both state-funded institutions and in the business environment, they reflect a clear picture of the novelties attained in the leading-edge sciences that are in the scope of the conference. It is our belief that the book is useful to both students and researchers in all areas of engineering, who will each find at least one topic worthy of their interest in this work.

This current book comprises state-of-the-art research results in the field of mechatronics and reliable systems engineering, gathering papers from almost all continents. Since the chapters represent contributions of research scholars who work in both governmental financed institutions and in the business environment, one could infer that they certainly reflect a clear picture of the developments in these cutting-edge sciences. Moreover, the contributions are not limited to mechatronics, as nowadays it has grown to embed all smart technical sciences. Medical applications based on nano-technologies – seemingly the most promising of all newly developed branches – could not be left out of this work. It is our belief that the book is useful to both students, who want to learn from the best scholars (as most of the authors hold a Ph.D. degree and are well-known professors), and to researchers in all areas of smart engineering, who will definitely find here hot topics meant to inspire them in their line of work.

This book provides both researchers in the academia, students, and industrial experts the chance to exchange new ideas, build relations, and find virtual partners. It is a scientific event whose proceedings have set a very high standard. ICORSE’s distinctive feature is represented by its breadth of topics: mechatronics, integronics and adaptronics; reliable systems engineering; cyber-physical systems; optics; theoretical and applied mechanics; robotics; modelling and simulation; smart integrated control systems; computer imaging processing; smart bio-medical and bio-mechatronic systems; MEMS and NEMS; new materials; sensors and transducers; nano-chemistry, physical chemistry of biological systems; micro- and nanotechnology; system optimization; communications, renewable energy and environmental engineering. They all come together to deliver a clear picture of the state of the art reached in these areas so far.

This book offers a comprehensive review of smart technologies and provides perspectives on their applications in urban engineering. It covers a wide range of applications, from manufacturing engineering and transport logistics to information and computation technologies, providing readers with fresh ideas for future research and collaborations. The book showcases selected papers from the International Conference on Smart Technologies in Urban Engineering (STUE-2023), hosted by O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The conference, held on June 8–10, 2023, aimed to address the complex rehabilitation of areas damaged by military conflicts and natural disasters. The contributions within this book offer a wealth of valuable information, fostering a meaningful exchange of experiences among scientists in the field of urban engineering. By delving into this book, readers explore innovative approaches to tackle urban challenges, gain insights from experts, and contribute to the advancement of smart technologies for the betterment of cities worldwide.

This book presents the proceedings of the 15th EAI International Conference on Automation and Control in Theory and Practice (ARTEP 2023), held in Stará Lesná, Slovakia, February 8-10, 2023. The aim of the conference was to meet the experts in the field of control, industrial automation and ICT in the industry from universities, colleges, and practice. The conference aims to draw attention to modern trends in the field, to enable experts, pedagogues and scientific researchers to present the results achieved in their work, to exchange experiences and establish working contacts between meeting participants. The ARTEP proceedings includes papers on automation and control and their integration of technologies such as Industry 4.0, robotics, and IoT. ARTEP is primarily a conference for scientists and practitioners who develop and study automation, management, and technologies.

This book reports on advances in manufacturing, with a special emphasis on smart manufacturing and information management systems. It covers sensors, machine vision systems, collaborative technologies, industrial robotics, digital twins, and virtual and mixed reality. Further topics include quality management, supply chain, agile manufacturing, lean management, and sustainable transportation. Chapters report on theoretical research and experimental studies concerning engineering design, simulation, and various machining processes for classical and additive manufacturing. They also discusses key aspects related to engineering education and competence management in the industry 4.0 era. Based on the 6th International Conference on Design, Simulation, Manufacturing: The Innovation Exchange (DSMIE-2022), held on June 6-9, 2023, in High Tatras, Slovak Republic, this first volume of a 2-volume set provides academics and professionals with extensive information on trends and technologies, and challenges and practice-oriented experience in all the above-mentioned areas.

This book gathers the proceedings of the 16th IFToMM World Congress, which was held in Tokyo, Japan, on November 5–10, 2023. Having been organized every four years since 1965, the Congress represents the world’s largest scientific event on mechanism and machine science (MMS). The contributions cover an extremely diverse range of topics, including biomechanical engineering, computational kinematics, design methodologies, dynamics of machinery, multibody dynamics, gearing and transmissions, history of MMS, linkage and mechanical controls, robotics and mechatronics, micro-mechanisms, reliability of machines and mechanisms, rotor dynamics, standardization of terminology, sustainable energy systems, transportation machinery, tribology and vibration. Selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, they highlight numerous exciting advances and ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.
