Intelligent Mechatronics System Modeling, Control and Evaluation

Dear Colleagues,

With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, mechatronics equipment represented by intelligent vehicles, engineering machinery, robots, and unmanned systems have played an increasingly important role. This mechatronic equipment has significantly improved operational accuracy, efficiency, and safety in hazardous environments by integrating artificial intelligence, and can achieve autonomous and collaborative capabilities beyond human capabilities. However, they also commonly face challenges such as technological reliability (especially in complex scenarios), high costs, and network security. Looking ahead to the future, we should focus on developing research directions such as embodied intelligence and autonomous decision-making (enabling equipment to truly understand the physical world and adapt to it), multi-machine collaboration and cluster intelligence (achieving efficient collaboration of large-scale equipment), human–machine integration and safe interaction (ensuring natural and safe collaboration between humans and systems), and synchronously construct corresponding testing standards, safety regulations, and ethical frameworks to promote their advancement towards higher levels of intelligence and scale applications, thereby better serving social and economic development.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Design of intelligent mechatronics systems;
• New technologies of intelligent mechatronics systems;
• Thermal and energy management of intelligent mechatronics systems;
• Analysis, control, and testing of intelligent mechatronics systems;
• Case studies of successful intelligent mechatronics systems.
