This book
presents recent advances and developments in control, automation, robotics, and
measuring techniques. It presents contributions of top experts in the fields,
focused on both theory and industrial practice. In particular the book is
devoted to new ideas, challenges, solutions and applications of Mechatronics. The
particular chapters present a deep analysis of a specific technical problem
which is in general followed by a numerical analysis and simulation, and
results of an implementation for the solution of a real world problem.

The presented
theoretical results, practical solutions and guidelines will be useful for both
researchers working in the area of engineering sciences and for practitioners
solving industrial problems.
