Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).Design, Testing and Characteristics of Mechatronic Devices is a special topic volume of scientific papers. The topic belongs to the fundamental research fields that are solved at the Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies of Technical University of Kos<U+00cc>Rice with a seat in Pres<U+00cc>Rov for long period of time. Dealing with such kind of research is necessarily associated with high theoretical demands, so authors would like to disseminate achieved knowledge in research, educational and entrepreneurial areas. Keyword: Mechatronics, Artificial Muscle, Pneumatic Actuator, Operational Reliability, Monitoring, Technical Equipment Scientific papers present results of research, mainly partial results achieved within a scientific project supported by the Structural Funds of the European Union and the Slovak Ministry of Education. Among the topics are the experimental validation of nominal model characteristics for a pneumatic muscle actuator, the material damping of fibrous composites for devices driven by artificial muscles, the mathematical description and static characteristics of the spring actuator with pneumatic artificial muscle, and the impact of excessive wear on the bearings of mechatronic devices. - Mechanical engineering
