Machines Webinar | Applications of Piezoelectric Devices and Materials, Held on 24 May 2023
On 24 May 2023, MDPI and the journal Machines (ISSN: 1996-1944) organized the webinar Applications of Piezoelectric Devices and Materials. The webinar focused on collecting novel applications of piezoelectric materials in mechatronic systems and robotics with an emphasis on practical aspects of modeling, fabrication, integration, driving, associated signal processing, and control methods for performance improvement.
Two presentations were delivered—“3D camera prototype based on LASER direct Time of Flight and MEMS mirrors: from simulation to real testing” by Dr. Daniele Caltabiano, and “Hybrid 3D-printed and MEMS devices based on piezoelectric resonators” by Dr. Víctor Ruiz Díez. The topics covered by the presentations represent state-of-the-art research activities in the field of piezoelectric materials and stimulated extreme interest for an intriguing and vibrant discussion among the participants in the webinar.
Please note that this webinar is associated with a Special Issue in Machines “Applications of Piezoelectric Devices and Materials”, for which the deadline is 15 August 2023.
