MDPI’s Journal Cluster of Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation Control Webinar | Robotics Innovation: Precision & Wearable Technology, 19 May 2026
A message from the webinar Chair:
Robotics innovation is rapidly transforming modern manufacturing and human–machine interaction, driven by advances in precision engineering, automation, and intelligent control systems. From prosthetics and wearable robotic devices that enhance human capability to highly accurate industrial robots optimized through advanced measurement technologies, these developments are redefining efficiency, adaptability, and performance. As part of the broader shift toward smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, such innovations highlight the growing integration of mechanical design, sensing, and control in next-generation robotic systems. These advances are shaping a more responsive, precise, and human-centered technological future.
