Automation 2025: Recent Advances in Automation, Robotics and Measurement Techniques

by Roman Szewczyk (Editor), Cezary Zielinski (Editor), Malgorzata Kaliczynska (Editor), Vytautas Bucinskas (Editor)

Overview

Proceedings of the Conference Automation 2025: Recent Advances in Automation, Robotics and Measurement Techniques focuses on recent progress in: measurement techniques and control applied to diverse processes and devices, especially in robotics. The papers deal with application of artificial neural networks and other machine learning methods in perception, modelling and control, utilisation of fractional order systems, predictive control, as well as novel sensors and measurement techniques. The subject of rehabilitation robots, especially exoskeletons helping the elderly and incapacitated, is also investigated here. The application of theoretical developments in practice is the primary concern of the papers presented in this book.

About the Author

Prof. Roman Szewczyk received both his PhD and DSc in the field of mechatronics. He specializes in modelling of properties of magnetic materials as well as in sensors and sensor interfacing, in particular magnetic sensors for security applications. He leads the development of: a sensing unit for a mobile robot developed for the Polish Police Central Forensic Laboratory, and methods of non-destructive testing based on magnetoelastic effect. Professor Szewczyk has been involved in over 10 European Union funded research projects within the FP6 and FP7 as well as projects financed by the European Defence Organization. Moreover, he has lead two regional and national scale technological foresight projects and was active in the organization and implementation of technological transfer between companies and research institutes. Roman Szewczyk is the Secretary for Scientific Affairs in the Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP. He is also an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechatronics, Warsaw University of Technology and the Vice-chairman of the Academy of Young Researchers of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Prof. Cezary Zieliński received his MSc/Eng., PhD and habilitation degrees in control and robotics from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), Warsaw, Poland. He is: a full professor of WUT, head of the Robotics Research Group, the director of the Institute of Control and Computation Engineering and professor of Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurement PIAP. His research concentrates on robot control and programming methods. His research interests focus on robotics, in general, and in particular include: robot programming methods, formal approach to the specification of architectures of multi-effector and multi-receptor systems, robot kinematics, robot position-force control, visual servo control, and design of digital circuits. He is the author/co-author of over 200 conference and journal papers as well as books concerned with the above-mentioned research subjects.

Dr. Małgorzata Kaliczyńska received her MSc/Eng. degree in cybernetics from the Faculty of Electronics, Wrocław University of Technology, and her PhD degree in the field of fluid mechanics from the Faculty of Mechanical and Power Engineering in the same university. Now she is an Assistant Professor in the Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurement PIAP and Editor of the scientific and technological magazine “Measurements Automation Robotics”. Her areas of research interest include distributed control systems, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, information retrieval and webometrics.

Prof. Vytautas Bučinskas received engineer’s degree in automotive engineering from the Vilnius Civil Engineering Institute in 1985. The same year he started as an engineer of work safety in VISI, Lithuania. In 1987 he became involved in research at the same institute. In 2000 he was employed as a researcher in the Faculty of Mechanics, Dept. of Machine Engineering. In 2002 he obtained a Doctor’s Degree in the field of Theory of Machines and became an associate professor in the Department of Machine Engineering, Vilnius Technical University. In 2012 he became a full professor of the same Department. In 2013 the Department of Mechatronics and Robotics was established where he became the chairman. After merging of two Departments, he heads Department of Mechatronics, Robotics and Digital Manufacturing. His current research interests include design of mechatronic systems, dynamical properties of mechatronic systems, energy harvesting from vibrations. He is a Fellow of the Lithuanian Association of Engineering Industry (LINPRA), Lithuanian Association of Robotics. He is an author of Lithuanian, European, US and Japanese patents. Currently he is an investigator in four H2020 ECSEL JU projects 3Ccar, Autodrive, A4DI and AI4CSM, where research focuses on autonomous vehicles and electric mobility.
