This book presents recent developments and new directions in advanced control systems, together with new theoretical findings, industrial applications and case studies on complex engineering systems, sensors, materials science, medicine, non-destructive testing and quality assurance. With a breakthrough in technology, the modern world is on the verge of new industrial revolution, at the stage of digital transformation when innovations from various industries collaborate and change each other. Innovations are the basis of the developed products and technologies. They are used to create new developments and advances as well as improve the state-of-the-art processes. However, the digital transformation both opens new opportunities and introduces additional risks. The successful industrial modernization is characterized by the combination of stable manufacturing regulatory structure with the new technological approaches of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Developments and advances of School of Non-Destructive Testing relate to technological trends in the areas of systems, decision making and control in the fields of aerospace systems, robotics and automation, power systems and sensor networks.
