Control Micro future research

In our postulation, how to automate machines in terms of operations will soon be a routine problem because of the technological maturity of actuators, sensors, and controllers. The application of automation technology will then focus on the issues of intelligence, integration, and autonomy. Another emerging trend involves the incorporation of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMSs) as sensors and controllers of automation and the microscale. However, education and training of workers who interact with intelligent and autonomous machines may be another important research issue in the future.
