Editorial: Identification and control of nonlinear electro-mechanical systems

Abstract

Electro-mechanical systems are systems composed of both electrical and mechanical parts. They include motors, robots, cranes, compactors, electro-mechanical positioning systems, nanopositioning systems, and piezoelectric actuators, amongst others. As a consequence, mechanical and electrical engineering communities encompass a variety of fields such as robotics, mechatronics, electrotechnics, electronics, and power engineering, all of which can be considered a part of an over-arching electro-mechanical community.
