Abstract

The 6th International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation (IMA 2023) took place in Guangzhou, China from January 13th to 15th, 2023 (virtual form). It is committed to bringing professionals and scholars to deliberate on the future of Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation, and bring new horizons and insights to the related researchers and practitioners.With the successful experience of the past 5 years, the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation was an even greater success in 2023. Focusing on “Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation” and related research areas, IMA 2023 brought together leading personnel from all over the world to share views and experiences and exchange ideas, promoted the research and developmental activities in Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation, and facilitated future business or research contacts among all the participants.After months of well preparation and hard work, the proceedings of IMA 2023 covering a bunch of papers, having been checked through rigorous review and processes to meet the requirements of publication, are smoothly published. These papers feature but are not limited to the following topics: Biomedical Manufacturing, Rapid Manufacturing Technologies, Electric Automation, Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation, etc.We had about 80 participations both as speakers and participants, including researchers, teachers, students, industrial experts, and professionals. During the keynote speech part, each keynote speaker was given 30-40 minutes for keynote speech. Among them, Professor Zongmin Ma from North University of China, China performed a keynote speech: Research on the Development Progress and Application of NV Solid-State Atomic Magnetometer. He mainly discussed about the magnetic measurement principle, key measurement technology and integration technology of NV color center in quantum sensing, and put forward the technical development direction for the current technical problems. In addition, he also summarized the preliminary practical applications of NV magnetometers in the fields of geomagnetic detection, nondestructive testing, biomedicine and other fields in recent years. The insightful speeches of each keynote speakers triggered interesting discussions and a good number of informal talks between all the participants.We would like to thank all the participants in the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation. Besides, our special acknowledgement goes to the Journal of Physics: Conference Series, for the endeavor of all its colleagues in publishing this paper volume. May this venture be a spark that ignites many new inventions in the fields of Intelligent Manufacturing and Automation.The Committee of IMA 2023List of Committee Member is available in this pdf.
