Preface

Abstract In the midst of the rapidly evolving landscape of technological advancements, the field of mechanical instrumentation and automation has emerged as a pivotal cornerstone in driving industrial progress and scientific exploration. It is with this recognition that we gathered once again for the 2024 5 th International Conference on Mechanical Instrumentation and Automation (ICMIA 2024), a forum that aims to showcase the latest research achievements, foster collaborations, and pave the way for innovative solutions in this dynamic domain. The ICMIA 2024, held in Wuhan, China, from April 19 th to 21 st , 2024 via hybrid form, serves as a gathering place for experts, scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world. It provides a unique platform to share insights, discuss challenges, and explore opportunities in the field of mechanical instrumentation and automation. This conference serves not only as a showcase for the latest research but also as a catalyst for cross-disciplinary collaborations and knowledge exchange. The keynote speakers at ICMIA 2024 brought with them a wealth of experience and expertise. Their presentations, focusing on cutting-edge research and industry applications, provided valuable insights into the current state of the art and future directions of mechanical instrumentation and automation. Among them, Prof. Ning Sun (Nankai University, China) made a speech on Intelligent Control for Complex Underactuated Cranes with Applications. He first shared some of his team’s recent results on dynamics analysis, motion planning, and intelligent control of different crane systems, and then discussed some of their extended and related researches on robotic systems with similar dynamic characteristics. We are grateful to these esteemed speakers for sharing their knowledge and insights. The collected papers in this volume represent the culmination of rigorous research and innovative ideas presented at ICMIA 2024. These papers span a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Mechanical and Instrument Design, Instrument Science and Technology, Electronic Design Automation, Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance Theory, Automatic Detection and Instrumentation, Intelligent Instrument System, and their applications in various industrial sectors. The authors, representing a diverse array of backgrounds and institutions, have contributed their valuable research to this volume, reflecting the global reach and impact of the conference. The selection process for these papers was rigorous and thorough. All submitted papers were subjected to peer review by experts in the field, ensuring the highest standards of quality and relevance. The accepted papers were then carefully curated and compiled into this volume, providing a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in mechanical instrumentation and automation. We are proud to present this collection of papers as a testament to the excellence and vibrancy of the research community in this field. We hope that this volume will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students alike, inspiring new ideas, fostering collaborations, and propelling the field of mechanical instrumentation and automation forward.
