This book explains that the coming years undoubtedly bring new developments in mechatronics. These advances are stimulated by the growing demand for intelligent, autonomous solutions in various branches of industry and consumer products. The development of economically justified new mechatronic products is not possible without the ongoing progress in manufacturing technology, metrology, measurements systems, new materials and control techniques. Those are the key for reducing costs and enhancing functionality of new products. Therefore, the scope of the 5th International Conference Mechatronics spanned from advanced mechatronic systems to manufacturing processes. The new results of research in this areas are reported in this book. We strongly believe that the solutions and guidelines presented during the conference held in Szczecin (Poland) from 8th to 10th September 2021 are useful for both researchers and engineers solving problems associated with mechatronic products.

The book “Mechatronics: Recent Technological and Scientific Advances” provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of the evolving disciplines of mechatronics for nanotechnology, automatic control & robotics, biomedical engineering, design manufacturing and testing of MEMS, metrology, photonics, mechatronic products majors. It is already the third volume following the previous editions in 2007 and 2009 providing a recent state of advances in mechatronics presented on the 9th International Conference Mechatronics 2011, hosted this year at the Faculty of Mechatronics, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland.                                                                                                                                                                                               The carefully selected contributions give an insight into the current development of these scientific disciplines, present the new results of research and development and indicate the trends of development in the interdisciplinary field of mechatronics systems. Even though many people believe that the presence of mechanical, electrical, electronic components, and computers make a system mechatronics, others do not feel the same as there is nothing wrong with the individual identity. The enclosed material is original, and reflects the main research tendencies and developments  in mechatronics  among Mechatronics 2011 contributing countries. It helps to acquire the mix of skills needed to comprehend and design mechatronic systems and also provides with the frame of understanding to develop a truly interdisciplinary and integrated approach to engineering.

This thesis deals with topology and shape optimization methods for finding optimal geometries of devices from electrical engineering. As a model problem, we consider the design optimization of an electric motor. Here, the performance of the motor depends on the electromagnetic fields in its interior, which, among other factors, also depend on the geometry of the motor via the solution to Maxwell's equations. In our model, we use a special regime of Maxwell's equations, namely the partial differential equation (PDE) of nonlinear magnetostatics, and consider a two-dimensional setting of the electric motor. Thus, we are facing a PDE-constrained optimization problem where the unknown is the geometry of a given part of the motor. An important tool for solving shape optimization problems is the shape derivative, i.e., the sensitivity of the domain-dependent objective function with respect to a smooth variation of a boundary or material interface.
