[Call for Papers] The Seventh Edition of Focused Section on TMECH/AIM Emerging Topics
Organized by: Zongxuan Sun, Carlo Brindesi Canali, Giovanni Berselli
The IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics is a joint publication of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and ASME – American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The aim of the present Transactions is to establish a high-quality archival journal that presents the state of the art, recent advances, and practical applications of mechatronics.
Submissions are called for the Seventh Edition of Focused Section (FS) on TMECH/AIM Emerging Topics. This Focused Section is intended to expedite the publication of novel and significant research results, technology, and/or conceptual breakthroughs of emerging research topics within the scopes of TMECH, providing rapid access to the state-of-the-art of TMECH publications to the mechatronics community.
The submitted paper must not exceed 8 TMECH published manuscript pages, excluding authors identity (photos, biography, email ids, and affiliations), and will be subject to the peer review process by TMECH standard. All final
accepted papers will be published in August Issue of TMECH in 2026 and will be presented in the 2026 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics that will be held in Genova, Italy on July 7-10, 2026. The rejected papers from the submissions to the Focused Section, will be transferred to the Program Committee of AIM 2026 for further review and consideration as conference contributed papers.

TMECH scope encompasses all practical aspects of the theory and methods of mechatronics, the synergetic integration of mechanical engineering with electronic and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacture of industrial products and processes. The covered ten technical areas included are:
- Actuators and Sensors
- Automotive Systems
- Intelligent Control
- Manufacturing
- Micro Devices and Opto-electronic Systems
- Modeling and Design
- Motion Control
- Robotics
- System Integration
- Vibration and Noise Control
