InTeOp | 2012 | ISBN: 9789535107989 | 727 pages | PDF | 42 MB

This book tries to summarize in an edited format and in a fairly comprehensive manner, many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the area of Smart Actuators and Smart Sensors. The book hopefully reflects the multicultural nature of the field and will allow the reader to taste and appreciate different points of view, different engineering methods and different tools that must be jointly considered when designing and realizing smart actuation and sensing systems.

Current and future challenges for the optimal design, modelling, control and technological implementation of the next-generation adaptive mechatronic systems are treated with the objective to provide a reference point on the current stateof-the-art, to propose future research activities and to stimulate new ideas. As long asthe authorship is taken from disparate disciplines.
