Developments in the connected fields of solid state physics bioengineering mechatronics and
nanometrology have had a profound effect on the emergence of modern technologies and their
influence on our lives. In all of these fields understanding and improving the basic
underlying materials is of crucial importance for the development of systems and applications.
The International Conference Inter-Academia 2016 has successfully married these fields and
become a regular feature in the conference calendar. It consisted of seven thematic areas in
the field of material science nanotechnology biotechnology plasma physics metrology
robotics sensors and devices. The book Recent Global Research and Education: Technological
Challenges is intended for use in academic government and industry R&D departments as an
indispensable reference tool for the years to come. Also we hope that the volume can serve the
world community as the definitive reference source in Advances in Intelligent Systems and
Computing. This book comprises carefully selected 68 contributions presented at the 15th
International Conference on Global Research and Education INTER-ACADEMIA 2016 organized by
Faculty of Mechatronics Warsaw University of Technology on September 26-28 in Warsaw
Poland. It is the second volume in series following the edition in 2015. It brings together
the knowledge and experience of 150 leading researchers representing 13 countries. We would
like to thank all contributors and reviewers for helping us to put-together this book.
