Application of Advanced Control Technologies Using Digital Signal Processors

Dear Colleagues,

Digital signal processing and control engineering have been widely used in many areas of science and engineering. Control systems are designed to satisfy certain objectives such as safety regulations, reliable production, disturbance rejection, and so on and to operate under certain desired specifications and constraints for real-world problems. Moreover, there is a wide range of digital signal processing techniques that need to be considered in instrumentation and mechatronic control applications. Advanced control techniques combine and extend methods established from several research fields such as control theory, mathematics, and computer science. Several advanced control approaches have been developed and applied for different types of automatic mechatronic systems. However, due to the integration of mechatronic systems in modern industry, in our daily life, and in the physical and even the virtual world, it is necessary to explore new advanced control methods for mechatronic systems in order to meet the most challenging performance requirements. The objective of this Special Issue is to present the latest research contributions and to boost and enhance advanced control approaches using digital signal processing for robotic systems. It is open to all researchers in this area. It is expected that novel design approaches will be designed and applied for real-world automatic mechatronic applications. It is hoped that this Special Issue will provide a useful reference about recently developed approaches for the control of automatic mechatronic systems. While this Special Issue invites topics broadly across advanced automatic mechatronic systems with signal, image, and video processing algorithms and technologies, some specific topics include, but are not limited to:

- Signal/image/video processing algorithms for advanced automatic mechatronic systems;

- Robotic control systems;

- Vehicle control systems;

- Motion control systems;

- Real-time, distributed, robotic, embedded, computer, and wireless control technologies;

- Advanced control algorithms using digital signal processing;

- Novel applications for digital signal processing control.
