Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous advancement of technology and the acceleration of industrialization, the level of automation in modern industrial production is steadily increasing. As a crucial component of modern industrial control, mechanical instrumentation and automation, particularly the core technologies in sensing, control, and fault diagnosis, are becoming increasingly significant. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for experts, scholars, engineers, and technical researchers in the fields of instrumentation, mechanical engineering, and automation to share research achievements and cutting-edge developments. It seeks to facilitate an understanding of academic trends, broaden research perspectives, strengthen academic discourse, and promote the industrialization and collaborative application of scientific and technological outcomes.
This Special Issue collects high-quality original articles or comprehensive review papers on sensing, control, and fault diagnosis technologies in mechanical instrumentation and automation. The topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Measuring and testing technologies and instruments.
- Ultra-precision photoelectric instrument.
- Precision measurement and intelligent instrument.
- Photoelectric detection technology.
- Detection and control technology.
- Smart sensor technology and application.
- Automatic detection and instrumentation.
- Intelligent measurement and control system.
- Fault diagnosis and maintenance theory.
