Abstract
Development of mechatronics systems presents a guarantee for development, technological progress and thus also of the overall society progress in both, developed and underdeveloped countries. All over the word enormous effort is made in the fields of controlled drives, electronic voltage inverters, embedded systems, and telerobotic applications connected with virtual environments for the technological solutions' demands from macro- to nano- world. Likewise the advance in the field of the optical MEMS sensors and measurement instrumentation interferes with most topical and promising fields of science, like nano-, optical and sensor technologies and their combinations and takes care for the transfer of those technologies into the practical use.
Significance for science
Research work in the framework of the programme group has brought a number of new discoveries and results, which are important for the science development. The results of our work have been presented to the international research community through publications in scientific journals and through international conferences. They received a lot of attention and our work has also been widely referenced. Because there is a common opinion in the international community, that science cannot serve itself and that such a of science development is required that its results significantly contribute to the technological progress of human kind, we can firmly state that in the framework of our research work and through the participation in international projects as well as in joint projects with the Slovenian industry, we gave a notable to that kind of scientific development. Research work in the field of control of electric drives has brought outstanding results worldwide, especially in the field of AC electric motors control without the use of position and speed sensors. In the same way, innovative approaches were used for design of control systems (with an emphasis on mechatronic systems) with applications of hybrid control, which present a new interesting approach towards the control of more complex systems with higher functionality. A work in this field has been directed towards a study and analyses of event-oriented processes. Important activities have been carried out in the field of numerical analysis of control algorithms, where we have been involved mainly with applications of fixed point arithmetics. We have also developed programmes for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), which enable the use of complex control procedures, i.e. the use of fuzzy algorithms. Real-time systems for surveillance and control have become important elements for effective planning and management of industrial production. Adequate linking of supervision, production and business level assures the required bidirectional flow of information, which is important for reaching flexibility of production, higher efficiency and fast adaptation as well as planning of the market development. Improved control algorithms adapted for the real time operation contribute towards a more reliable behaviour of systems, reduced energy consumption and higher production quality. Systems for error detection and diagnosis, which are installed in parallel with control systems, contribute to the improvement of production process, because they are adapted to the technological processes. With real-time supervision and measures taken by the operator, in the case of incorrect functioning, decrease of number of production shutdowns is made possible. At the same time prediction of maintenance cycles, optimization, scheduling of staff working hours as well as scheduling of devices operation are enabled. Overall supervision enables full monitoring of key production parameters for improvement of product quality as well as reduced duration of iterative production optimization. Development of telerobotic techniques through virtual environments has been used for the control of nanorobotic cells. Instead of a long distance communicating in macro world, we have used short distance communication; from macro into the nano world. This technique is still in early phase of development in the field of nano manipulation.
Significance for the country
Research results of the programme group contribute to reaching of basic social developing goals in Slovenia, which desires to create a modern and prosperous economy, on the basis of social knowledge in healthy environment. Research results are directly transferred to the practice through cooperation with industry. With the introduction of new innovative and technologically advanced products results of our research enable a better competitive position of our economy in the world market. Products with greater added value would contribute importantly to the gross domestic product (GDP) increase. Among other researched topics, one of our focuses has been on the use of alternative energy sources. Acquiring of a large share of energy from alternative and renewable sources is a strategic goal of all developed countries, because it contributes to both, increased energy self-dependence and meeting of the Kyoto protocol requirements on reducing CO2 emission into the atmosphere. Thus it contributes to the protection of the environment and improved quality of life. During current hard economic situation in the face of global recession, it is important as well, that the field of industrial production, related to the use of alternative sources, is one of few that register a constant growth of production, and based on predictions will continue to grow in the next years. The field of design and control of mechatronic systems is of exceptional importance for Slovenian economy, because these achievements represent one of the most important export items of our companies. From that point of view it is necessary to follow world trends and be ahead of them. Research results of our programme unit work have been presented at great extent to our partners from industry. Thus they obtained the possibility to include the results into their upcoming products, which will have fast and direct effects on their competitiveness, and with that increase the added value. Flexibility and quality of production even today are key factors in industrial production in order to reach rapid tracking to changes of requirements of the global market. With the introduction of new control techniques and supervision systems, the economic progress of Slovenia is accelerated following the standards, which is dictated by the markets with a higher product quality demands. Overall monitoring of production and flow of information between all levels (SCADA, MES, SAP) enables faster design, assures accordance with the standards and thus rapid product placement into the market, which represents an improved competitive position towards other manufacturers. Methods for improvement of the quality, advanced control algorithm, systems for error detection and fixing, etc. are incorporated into the design in order to reach an overall and effective control as well as effective production planning. Individual segments of production enable, with the effective information flow, modular and flexible design of the system. Techniques of teleoperating among macro and micro/nano world are necessary for the development of micro/nano manipulations. Development of micro and nano manipulation techniques with micro or nano robots contributes to the long-term development of Slovenia. Although nanotechnology is referred to as a mass production of micro/nano products, it is necessary to build our own machines and develop activating technologies in micro or nano world in order to make possible the automatic production of those micro or nano products.
