Track Description
Authors are invited to submit works describing scientific and engineering aspects and techniques related to the modelling, control, integrated design of mechatronic devices (manipulators, transport systems…) . Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Robot design, modelling and control
· Transport systems (aircrafts and aerial devices, railway, vehicle…)
· Nonlinear mechanics (friction, …)
· System analysis and design
· Flexible systems
· Operator-machine interaction (haptic devices)
· Power-electronics actuators
Theoretical contributions, new methods and applications will be welcome. Development and application of mechatronic systems, including industrial applications are strongly encouraged. Only original papers written in English will be considered on the basis of a full paper revision.
