Development trends in Robotics

Robots are always a frequently used as an example for Mechatronic Systems. Currently the field of robotics is very fast growing. Therefore the overview is definitely not actual and have to be improved. The main goal of this contribution is to make some additional remarks to the existing kinds of robots and introduce some new with special emphasis to Mechatronic Systems like manufacturing automation by Production 4.0

Mechatronics and Mechatronics Management

Mechatronics bringing together a number of technologies mechanical engineering, control engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering,computer technology. Mechatronics as an umbrella integrates areas of technology like measurement systems and sensors, actuation systems and drives, systems behavior, control, and microprocessor systems. Education in Mechatronics is highly interdisplinary. Graduates with a BSc or MSc degree in Mechatronics get usually higher or medium management positions in Industry requiring some knowledge in management. Therefore an education program ―Mechatronics Management‖ was developed by an international consortium and implemented at UBT in Prishtin

“New” Subjects in Mechatronics Management Education

Process – and manufacturing automation as well as robotics are currently one of the fast growing fields in automation. Advanced process control, cyber-physical systems, industry 4.0 and “advanced robots” are no longer a headline. They are in realization. As a consequence of these developments new social, ethical and human questions appear. Therefore this contribution is a first report about the continuous “modernization” of the Mechatronics Management BSc and MSc programs which are successful running at UBT. Both programs were developed in the framework of two TEMPUS projects from an international consortium from 2006 to 2009. Since that time new “buzzwords” appears. For a contemporary education of the participants these new subjects have to be included in the curricula

Advancement Of The Plastering Machine

Automation of water flow at plastering machines is a solution which serves the process of plastering, to adhere international standards.Automation of water flow by taking signals from the condition of the material depending on humidity. So its output is used to influence the increase or decrease of the amount of water flow in the valve.Water flow automation is a system which consists of several components in which the already, develop different processes. To realese the feedback we need a sensor which is built by piezoelemnt in which we have the phenomenon of the frequency. With which we have to create a variable signal at the entrance of electronic board. This signal varies depending on the moisture condition to the material of the exit of machine. Electronic board which is part of an intelligent system where we have 6 incoming signals and 4 signals at its output. We have an actuator which depending on the orders it receives from electronic board in valve reacts and works to increase and decrease the amount of water that flows. We have a float 1,0,2 (auto, 0, manual) which serves to orient the system in manual or automatic system. Manual system is realized through one potentiometer, while automatic system is implemented by using the sensor. So it comes to obtaining information on the move again while the system operates automatically

Water flow automation is a system which consists of several components in which the already, develop different processes.

Diversity and Inclusion in Automation

Diversity and inclusion are the vital to the long-term success of any business. In Industry 4.0 and 5.0 there is a requirement that engineering firms have the best talent to foster innovation, entrepreneurship and growth. The best talent means offering engineering education to all members of society, including minority groups. Traditionally automation is not an engineering sector that attracts a diverse cohort. This paper looks at why science, technology engineering and math (STEM) in general, and automation in particular, flourishes when opened up to a more diverse and inclusive community and it offers insight as to how to attract this more diverse and inclusive society

Cost Oriented Robots for Kosovo

The cost of developing and operating control and automation systems is a crucial factor of productivity and competitiveness for a number of applications in manufacturing plants, quality control systems and robotics.

Phosphorus in sediments of high-elevation lakes in the Sierra Nevada (California): implications for internal phosphorus loading

In high-elevation lakes of the Sierra Nevada (California), increases in phosphorus (P) supply have been inferred from changes in phytoplankton growth during summer. To quantify rates of sediment P release to high-elevation Sierran lakes, we performed incubations of sediment cores under ambient and reducing conditions at Emerald Lake and analyzed long-term records of lake chemistry for Emerald and Pear lakes. We also measured concentrations of individual P forms in sediments from 50 Sierra Nevada lakes using a sequential fractionation procedure to examine landscape controls on P forms in sediments. On average, the sediments contained 1,445 µg P g−1, of which 5 % was freely exchangeable, 13 % associated with reducible metal hydroxides, 68 % associated with Al hydroxides, and the remaining 14 % stabilized in recalcitrant pools. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that sediment P fractions were not well correlated with soluble P concentrations. In general, sediments behaved as net sinks for P even under reducing conditions. Our findings suggest that internal P loading does not explain the increase in P availability observed in high-elevation Sierran lakes. Rather, increased atmospheric P inputs and increased P supply via dissolved organic C leaching from soils may be driving the observed changes in P biogeochemistry
