About this Research Topic
The Mechatronics Specialty Journal of Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering has organized a series of special edition Research Topics, with the goal of highlighting the latest advancements in Mechatronics across the globe, showcasing the academic excellence and high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers in this highly multidisciplinary area.
These collections aim to shed light on not only the recent progress made across the entire breadth of the Mechatronics field, but also reflect on the future challenges faced by researchers across borders.
Topics include:
• The importance of virtual prototyping and computer simulation to shorten development cycles of products and processes
• The role of reduced size and cost of microprocessors in finding their way into more and more products
• The tight integration of sensors, actuators, computers, mechanical structures and software in Mechatronics
• The importance of team-based systems approach to design Mechatronics systems
• Novel approaches for training future mechatronics engineers to keep pace with the incredible rate of change in industrial practices, and the resulting change in expectations
• New research applications of artificial intelligence, supervisory controls, sustainability, condition monitoring & reliability analysis, energy efficiency solutions
Please note, contributions to the collection are by invitation only. Please inform the Editorial Office once you are prepared to submit.
