The symposium "Emboding Intelligence in Structures and Integrated Systems" will highlight advances in adaptive materials and in novel sensor/actuator and micro systems, and their integration in mechatronic structures and systems of various complexities also including intelligent and flexible robotics. System level evaluation of smart structures, the interplay of actuation, sensing and processing capabilities, the ideation and numerical modelling and simulation of new actuation and sensing techniques for integrated systems, the analysis, design and testing of active/passive smart dynamic and static structural components and signal processing, together with micro and nano technology, control electronics and materials science involved in interfacing different materials and functions, will be among the scopes of this Symposium that requires multidisciplinary contributions by experts from materials science, theoretical and applied mechanics, electronics, electromechanics and manufacturing.
