Advanced Manufacturing And Automation Xi

The proceedings collect selected papers from the 11th International Workshop of Advanced Manufacturing and Automation (IWAMA 2021), held in Zhengzhou Polytechnic, China on 11 - 12 October, 2021. Topics focusing on novel techniques for manufacturing and automation in Industry 4.0 are now vital factors for the maintenance and improvement of the economy of a nation and the quality of life. It will help academic researchers and engineering to implement the concept, theory and methods in Industry 4.0 which has been a hot topic. These proceedings will make valuable contributions to academic researchers, engineers in the industry for the challenges in the 4th industry revolution and smart factories.
