Electromechanics and Robotics: Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Electromechanics and Robotics "Zavalishin's Readings" (ER(ZR) 2021), ... (Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies)

This book features selected papers presented at the 16th International Conference on Electromechanics and Robotics ‘Zavalishin’s Readings’ – ER(ZR) 2021, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on April 14–17, 2021. The contributions, written by professionals, researchers and students, cover topics in the field of automatic control systems, electromechanics, electric power engineering and electrical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, automation and vibration technologies. The Zavalishin's Readings conference was established as a tribute to the memory of Dmitry Aleksandrovich Zavalishin (1900–1968) – a Russian scientist, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and founder of the school of valve energy converters based on electric machines and valve converters energy. The first conference was organized by the Institute of Innovative Technologies in Electromechanics and Robotics at the Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation in 2006. The 2021 conference was held with XV International Conference “Vibration-2021. Vibration technologies, mechatronics and controlled machines” and VI International Conference “Electric drive, electrical technology and electrical equipment of enterprises“, and was organized by St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI), St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPC RAS), Southwest State University (SWSU) and Ufa State Oil Technical University (USPTU).

Prof. Andrey Ronzhin is Director of St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPС RAS) and Head of the Department of Electromechanics and Robotics Systems at St. Petersburg University of Airspace Instrumentation. His research focuses on interaction of autonomous robotic systems and users in a cyber-physical environment. He is a member of Scientific Board of Robotics and Mechatronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Navigation and Motion Control, Co-Chairman of International Conference Interactive Collaborative Robotics (ICR). He is Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Journal “Informatics and Automation”.

Prof. Vladislav Shishlakov is Vice-Rector for Educational Technologies and Innovative Activities, St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI) and Head of the Department of Management in Technical Systems. He is Honorary Worker at the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation since 2009. His research interests are related to development of methods of synthesis of nonlinear systems of automatic control systems, which are continuous, and with different types of signal modulation, as well as the development and research of electromechanical and electric power systems and complexes based on the effects of high-temperature superconductivity.
