Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Traditional control methods often struggle with the nonlinearity, disturbances, and unmodeled dynamics present in complex electromechanical systems, leading to laborious and complex control strategies. With the advent of advanced computational techniques, machine learning algorithms, and abundant measurement data, control strategies for complex electromechanical systems, used in robotics, aerospace, transportation, and wafer scanners, are undergoing a transformative shift from traditional model-based methods to learning-driven control, with the aim of enhancing performance, reliability, and adaptability.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring state-of-the-art advancements and innovative approaches in this critical field, both theoretical and application-oriented. It aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest findings, share insights, and foster discussions on the intelligent control of complex electromechanical systems. We encourage the submission of theoretical and experimental studies that would promote further research activities in this area. The key topics covered in this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Theoretical foundations for intelligent control;
  • Intelligent modeling and identification in electromechanical systems;
  • Intelligentization in feedforward and feedback control;
  • Intelligent optimization in precision/ultra-precision motion systems;
  • Iterative/deep/adaptive learning control for complex systems;
  • Intelligent trajectory planning for complex motion systems;
  • Sensor fusion and data analytics in electromechanical systems;
  • Human–machine interactions in electromechanical systems;
  • Application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in electromechanical systems.

The tension system is one of the most critical systems in gravure printed electronic equipment. It possesses a complex structure that spans the entire feeding process, from unwinding through printing to rewinding. This article focuses on the research of multi-span tension control for printing systems. Firstly, the characteristics and requirements of the tension-control system in the printing section were analyzed, and a multi-span tension-control structure was devised. Then, based on the coupled mathematical model of the multi-span tension system, a static decoupling model was formulated, and a first-order active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) controller was designed utilizing active disturbance rejection control technology. Finally, to verify the control performance of the ADRC decoupling controller for the printing tension system, simulation and experimental studies were conducted using MATLAB/Simulink R2018a and a dedicated experimental platform, and the results were then compared with those obtained from a traditional PID controller. The research findings indicate that the designed multi-span tension-control system demonstrates outstanding decoupling performance and anti-interference capabilities, effectively enhancing the tension-control accuracy of gravure printed electronic equipment.
