Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the Industry 4.0 concept has opened a new horizon for advanced technologies for control and automation, essentially for mechatronic intelligent systems. Digitalization on each level of the process opens new possibilities for resource and energy efficiency enhancement and increased needs of intelligent, autonomous automation. New mechatronic technologies and designs are essential parts of this development.

This Special Issue is focused on recent advances in intelligent systems, control and automation for green energy conversion, energy-efficient electromechanical devices, the digitalization of information and communication, the application of artificial intelligence, internet of things, as well as new magnetic materials and cyber-physical systems to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0.

This paper aims to solve the consensus problem of three different types of multi-agent systems under fixed communication delay. For these three different types of multi-agent systems, three new control protocols are constructed to solve the consensus issue of multi-agent systems with coupling weights, which is rarely considered in other related articles. For fixed coupled multi-agent systems, a new control strategy is designed by Lyapunov theory, matrix theory, and the inequality method to ensure the consensus of multi-agent systems. An adaptive coupling weight updating scheme is proposed for adaptive coupling multi-agent systems to achieve the consensus state of the multi-agent systems. Finally, experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed three different algorithms. Full article

With the widespread application of robots in aerospace, medicine, automation, and other fields, their motion safety is essential for the well-being of humans and the accomplishment of vital socially beneficial programs. Conventional robot hardware and software designs mainly rely on experiential knowledge and manual testing to ensure safety, but this fails to cover all possible testing paths and adds risks. Alternatively, formal, mathematically rigorous verifications can provide predictable and reliable guarantees of robot motion safety. To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, we formalize the mathematical coordinate transformation of a robot’s rigid-body kinematics using the Coq Proof Assistant to verify the correctness of its theoretical design. First, based on record-type matrix formalization, we define and verify a robot’s spatial geometry by constructing formal expressions of the matrix’ Frobenius norm, trace, and inner product. Second, we divide rotary motion into revolution and rotation construct and provide their formal definitions. Next, we formally verify the rotational matrices of angle conventions (e.g., roll–pitch–yaw and Euler), and we complete the formal verification of the Rodriguez formula to formally verify the correctness of the motion theory in specific rotating kinematics problems. The formal work of this paper has a variety of essential applications and provides a generalizable kinematics analysis framework for robot control system verification. Moreover, it paves the way for automatic programming capabilities. Full article
