Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

The term “mechatronics” was coined in 1969 merging “mecha” from mechanism and “tronics” from electronics to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline that is the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term and of mechatronics itself has been growing in the years including new aspects and disciplines like control engineering computer engineering and communication/information engineering. Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain” but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices used in tight interaction with humans that are governed by smart architectures (for example for safety purposes). Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics through the contribution of researchers from different institutions providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields with attention to new fields of application new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available. The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction through robot control navigation planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans ultra-high accuracy model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms. | Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

The Internet of Materials

State-of-the-art flat structures called metasurfaces can filter and steer light and sound render an object completely invisible to electromagnetic waves and much more. They can deliver automation remote operation and advanced performance to a wide variety of existing systems with applications in communications medical imaging sensing and security. However for non-specialists individual metasurfaces are currently restricted to limited reusability and accessibility. This book brings together various scientific disciplines with the aim of outlining a programmable ‘plug-and-play’ metasurface. The book focuses on a recently proposed platform – known as the HyperSurface – that provides many electromagnetic functions of metasurfaces in a single structure which can be controlled and reconfigured by software. This revolutionary approach paves the way for new opportunities in wireless communications and programmable wireless environments: HyperSurfaces could link networks with objects and physical environments and create smarter systems that are far more responsive to user demands. Walls that absorb radiation or block digital eavesdropping and wireless long-distance charging of devices are among the many possibilities. The book aspires to provide the foundational knowledge for creating an Internet of Materials enabling smart environments at any scale – from indoor wireless communications to medical imaging equipment. Although the set of disciplines involved covers a considerable span we hope that the material will benefit experts and students alike. | The Internet of Materials

Mobile and Wireless Communications with Practical Use-Case Scenarios

The growing popularity of advanced multimedia-rich applications along with the increasing affordability of high-end smart mobile devices has led to a massive growth in mobile data traffic that puts significant pressure on the underlying network technology. However no single network technology will be equipped to deal with this explosion of mobile data traffic. While wireless technologies had a spectacular evolution over the past years the present trend is to adopt a global heterogeneous network of shared standards that enables the provisioning of quality of service and quality of experience to the end-user. To this end enabling technologies like machine learning Internet of Things and digital twins are seen as promising solutions for next generation networks that will enable an intelligent adaptive interconnected environment with support for prediction and decision making so that the heterogeneous applications and users' requirements can be highly satisfied. The aim of this textbook is to provide the readers with a comprehensive technical foundation of the mobile communication systems and wireless network design and operations and applications of various radio access technologies. Additionally it also introduces the reader to the latest advancements in technologies in terms of Internet of Things ecosystems machine learning and digital twins for IoT-enabled intelligent environments. Furthermore this textbook also includes practical use-case scenarios using Altair WinProp Software as well as Python TensorFlow and Jupyter as support for practice-based laboratory sessions. | Mobile and Wireless Communications with Practical Use-Case Scenarios
