Presentation
The PhD program in Mechatronics Engineering is the continuation of the PhD programs with similar names that have been taught continuously at the University of Malaga since 1994, and which have obtained recognition for their quality in the various calls that have arisen throughout this period. For example, the program obtained the reference of Quality Program in the early and isolated call of 1995. Subsequently, it obtained the MENTION OF QUALITY in 2006, MCD2006-00114 for the Mechatronics Engineering program approved in accordance with RD 778/1998 and in force for the academic years 2006-2007 to 2009-2010. During 2009, the Doctoral Program in MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING is taught, verified as a doctoral program with teaching period not belonging to any MASTER, according to RD. 1393/2007. In 2010 the current Master's Degree in MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING was verified, which constitutes the teaching period of the DOCTORATE PROGRAM in MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING verified according to RD 1393/2007. This program, which is currently in force, has obtained in 2011 the MENTION TOWARDS EXCELLENCE (MEE 2011-0108) valid for the academic years 2011-2012 to 2013-2014.

28-09-2023El próximo día 6 de octubre de 2023 a las 11:00 en el Salón de Grados B de la EII tendremos el seminario invitado "Comparing Models for Compressible Convection" impartido por la contratada Ramón y Cajal del Departamento de Matemática Aplicada de la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Jezabel Curbelo. Nos presentará el trabajo "Comparing Models for Compressible Convection".---------------Comparing Models for Compressible Convection
In numerical modeling of planetary and stellar convection, taking into account compressibility effects is crucial. However, using the exact equations may not be feasible due to the generation of fast acoustic waves, which distract from the slower convective motions caused by buoyancy. The Oberbeck-Boussinesq model simplifies the calculations by suppressing the acoustic waves, making it easier for numerical simulations, but it simplifies pressure effects to a secondary role. Intermediate models, such as the anelastic and anelastic liquid models, have also been proposed to balance simplicity and accuracy.
We investigated compressible convection under several different approximations for the thermodynamic state, as well as using the exact equations with different classes of equations of state (EoS). Our results are mostly discussed in the framework of mantle convection but the EoS is flexible enough to be applied to other cases. -

El próximo martes 3 de octubre se impartirá la conferencia "Reconnaisance robotics and Industry 4.0", por el Prof. Dr. Ludek Zalud, de la Brno University of Technology (Chequia). El Prof. Zalud tiene una amplia trayectoria en la robótica de campo y los sistemas integrados, y ha liderado numerosos proyectos en ese campo, incluyendo la creación de un startup.
El Prof. Zalud presentará los últimos trabajos de su grupo de investigación en este ámbito:
Field robotics
- mobile robotics for reconnaissance missions
- military robots for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear) missions
- autonomous search for radiation sources
Swarm robotics
- combined UGV/UAS system for military applications
- photogrammetry mapping
- autonomous object detection
Industry 4.0
La conferencia se impartirá el martes 3 de octubre en el Salón de Grados B de la EII, a las 11:00 h.
La conferencia está considerada en las actividades formativas del PD.
