Electronics, Photonics and Cyberphysical Systems

Approximately every decade, the world experiences a technological revolution. The 1990s were the decade of the personal computer and the Internet. The 2000s brought us streaming broadband, virtualization, and cloud services. The current decade has seen the rapid development of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. These technologies have enabled smarter, faster, more productive, and more flexible industrial automation of the fourth generation, which is now commonly referred to as Industry 4.0. The benefits of mature Industry 4.0 solutions are now obvious to everyone[1]. Trends in big data visualization and analysis, production lines that can be easily adapted for small-scale and even individual products, the creation of cyber-physical and industrial ecosystems - all this is fundamentally transforming production and the very style of doing business.

Although Industry 4.0 is a general concept for a modern industrial manufacturer, it is very diverse.

The fourth stage of the industrial revolution offers extensive application of wireless digital communication technologies, robotics, sensor systems and automation at various objects. And the most complex "object" on this path is "Man".

The "Photonics" section publishes the results of the research of KNITU-KAI researchers - PhD Agliullina T.A., Kaid M.R.T.M. and M.T.T. Valeeva B.I. "Information structure, sensitivity and errors of measuring conversion of biosensors based on combined optical fiber structures".
