Advanced Automation Techniques in Adaptive Material Processing


Book Description

This volume presents the editors' research as well as related recent findings on the applications of modern technologies in electrical and electronic engineering to the automation of some of the common manufacturing processes that have traditionally been handled within the mechanical and material engineering disciplines.In particular, the book includes the latest research results achieved through applied research and development projects over the past few years at the Gintic Institute of Manufacturing Technology, Singapore. It discusses advanced automation technologies such as in-process sensors, laser vision systems, and laser strobe vision, as well as advanced techniques such as sensory signal processing, adaptive process control, fuzzy logic, neural networks, expert systems, laser processing control, etc. The methodologies and techniques are applied to some important material processing applications, including grinding, polishing, machining, and welding. Practical automation solutions, which are complicated by part distortions, tool wear, process dynamics, and variants, are explained.The research efforts featured in the book are driven by industrial needs. They combine theoretical research with practical automation considerations. The techniques developed have been either implemented in the factory or prototyped in the laboratory.

Computational Intelligent Techniques in Mechatronics


Book Description

This book, set against the backdrop of huge advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning within mechatronic systems, serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating the intricacies of mechatronics and harnessing its transformative potential. Mechatronics has been a revolutionary force in engineering and medical robotics over the past decade. It will lead to a major industrial revolution and affect research in every field of engineering. This book covers the basics of mechatronics, computational intelligence approaches, simulation and modeling concepts, architectures, nanotechnology, real-time monitoring and control, different actuators, and sensors. The book explains clearly and comprehensively the engineering design process at different stages. As the historical divisions between the various branches of engineering and computer science become less clearly defined, mechatronics may provide a roadmap for nontraditional engineering students studying within the traditional university structure. This book covers all the algorithms and techniques found in mechatronics engineering, well explained with real-time examples, especially lab experiments that will be very informative to students and scholars. Audience This resource is important for R & D departments in academia, government, and industry. It will appeal to mechanical engineers, electronics engineers, computer scientists, robotics engineers, professionals in manufacturing, automation and related industries, as well as innovators and entrepreneurs.




Mechatronic Systems


Book Description

Mechatronics has emerged as its own discipline over the past decade, yet no reference has lived up to the demands of being a working guide for designing and implementing the new generation of mechatronic systems. Uniting an international team of leading experts, Mechatronic Systems: Devices, Design, Control, Operation and Monitoring rises to the ch
