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
The importance of the program group work for the development of science lies predominantly in the development of new control and design approaches (of systems and control), which were published in scientific and professional journals and presented at scientific and professional conferences. In this way we contributed to the world's knowledge treasury. An important contribution was also given by the use of new systems and devices that enable new approaches to solving problems of control and design, thus accelerating the scientific advance. The synergistic effects of combining different professional fields as are: electrical, mechanical and informatics engineering, which represents one of the fundamental property of mechatronics, was of crucial importance. The important contribution to scientific advance that we recognized in publishing of our research results in journals worldwide, is certainly the introduction of information and communication technologies into the control processes, resulting in better capturing, describing and displaying of data, as well as improved efficiency of mechatronic devices. Our research in the field of the power electronics, where new approaches to the modulation and control of power electronics converters are introduced, were confirmed by publications in international journals with high impact factor. Rapid data processing in real time is, due to the nature of the processes, implemented in haptic systems for rapid bilateral teleoperation, which is also considered as a great contribution to the development of mechatronic systems confirmed by publications in globally recognized journals with high IF. The proposed objectives of the program for monitoring and diagnostics were carried out mainly by the dissemination of knowledge and integration of advanced algorithms into the relevant technology platforms with a desire to improve and rationalize the operation of systems. By connecting the supervisory functions of traditional SCADA systems and separate systems (real time fault detection) on the one hand and the business level systems, on the other, it was possible to show improvements in terms of faster responses and actions at all levels of decision making. Likewise, with the use of adequate functions of supervisory systems, higher levels of safety and reliability can be achieved. Also preventive actions can be executed with less congestions and consequently it is possible to achieve higher productivity of the systems. We believe that our work in this area represents significant contribution to improving the theoretical connectivity of various approaches, and provides an additional support to the practical implementation of systems for advanced control and fault detection. Our work in the previous period was identified as a very innovative and we have therefore been included in the international development consortias for the development of electric cars on hydrogen platforms, for the development of hybrid gas vehicle with an electric motor with double rotor, which can replace the traditional manual gearbox and for the development of a series hybrid power train, which will be implemented in a hybrid aircraft. In the case of our research group it can be indicated that not only developed methods and procedures, but also design methods and ways of presenting the results, can be considered as contributions to science.
Significance for the country
Development and integration of advanced control algorithms, design methods, information and communication technologies, embedded control systems, power electronics devices, sensors and measurement techniques, systems for fault diagnostics and prompt processing of data into the rapidly evolving industrial equipment plays an important role in raising the level of automation and the development of high technology processes in Slovenia. Research, analysis and development of new technologies in the field of control systems by integrating and upgrading them with monitoring and error detecting systems contributed to the transfer of new technologies into the industry and the economy. The proposed program interfered with the area of new high technologies, both in terms of their development, as well as their transfer into practical use. The program thus directly contributed to raising of the technological level and competitiveness of economic subjects in terms of introducing new products with high added value. Developments in this field will certainly generate new jobs producing higher added value products. The program directly and systematically developed high technologies, acquired and accumulated critical knowledge and trained staff, which will enable the continuation of such work in the future, which is crucial for raising value added of Slovenian products and thus overall economic development. Research was also conducted on the exploitation of alternative and renewable energy sources, which will result in lower CO2 emissions and thus present a positive impact on the environment and quality of life. Work was also conducted in the field of electric and hybrid vehicles, which represent the future of passenger and freight transport as well as new opportunities for favorable positioning of Slovenian companies on the world market.
