Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 15th International Conference Mechatronic Systems and Materials (MSM2020), which will be held in Bialystok – the capital of the so-called “Green Lungs of Poland”.
The MSM conference is the well-recognized event with its professional background, high scientific level and great opportunity to exchange scientific ideas and research experience during many formal and informal meetings.
The international conference on Mechatronic Systems and Materials (MSM2020) is the 15th MSM conference, which brings together scientists from spectrum of mechatronic systems and materials and also other related to them, i.e. robotics and automatic control, industry 4.0, computer science, smart materials with biomaterials and applications, and related fields. The conference provides an intense multidisciplinary forum for professionals, researchers, students and experts disseminating the latest developments in mechatronic systems and materials. Contributions may range from practical applications to theoretical aspects.
Similarly to the MSM2016, the conference organizers will encourage debates in a friendly atmosphere and a social offer with a one-day excursion to the breathtaking places in Podlasie region. I hope that beautiful views will bring unforgettable impressions and give you a chance to relax!
I look forward to welcome you in Bialystok on July 1 – 3, 2020 at the 15th International Conference Mechatronic Systems and Materials (MSM2020).

The 15th International Conference on Mechatronic Systems and Materials will be hosted at the Bialystok University of Technology located in the Bialystok city centre.
Bialystok is the biggest city in the north eastern Poland as well as the educational and economic centre of the region called “the Green Lungs of Poland”. The city is spread out, with numerous parks, forests, and squares. The specific cultural climate of Bialystok is mainly due to the centuries old multinational and multi-religious tradition. The whole region is dotted with Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish temples. The attendees of the MSM’2020 will have an opportunity to visit the most important Bialystok tourists attractions such as the Branicki’s Palace, the Equerry’s House from the 18th century, the City Hall, the modern Philharmonic Hall and sacral buildings, such as the neo-gothic cathedral of the Holy Virgin Mary, the 19th century Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

1. Tykocin castle
The castle in Tykocin was reconstructed on the foundations of the 16th century royal castle of the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Sigismund II Augustus. Tykocin castle played an important role in Polish history. Poland’s highest award, the Order of the White Eagle was established, and much of the national arsenal was kept here. The site of 4 battles, the castle was ultimately damaged in the 18th century. In 2002, the castle was rebuilt in its old form, using historical documents to ensure an accurate recreation. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the castle interior, through the castle’s vaults, halls, and cloisters and the castle museum.

Dear Authors,
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic situation and travel restrictions, the MSM2020 Organizing Committee has decided to organize a virtual symposium giving the chance to the authors of accepted papers to present their recent research results. More information will be given in the future.
Authors of the accepted papers are required to prepare a presentation file with voice narration and then convert it into a video file. The presentation files will be displayed with the conference schedule in 1-2 July, 2020. More information is given in Paper publication.
Also, new reduced registration fees covering the publication (IEEE Xplore digital library) as well as virtual symposium organization costs are here: Registration fees.
Please do not hesitate to request guidance regarding the MSM2020 conference from our secretary - Dr. Roman Trochimczuk (msm2020@pb.edu.pl).
MSMS2020 follows and monitors carefully and continuously the World Health Organization's situation updates regarding the COVID-19 pandemics.
We confirm and assure all authors that all accepted and registered papers will be published as planned and will appear on IEEE Xplore. We understand that in current situation preparing the paper is more difficult. Therefore, the full paper submission deadline has been extended.
However, the pandemic concerns now most of the countries in the World. It leads to travel restrictions and confinement in many territories. If the conference will not be able to proceed normally on the scheduled date, we will decide to postpone the date of the conference to August/September 2020. In case the conference could not take place with attendees physically present, because of continuing travel restrictions, MSMS2020 could become a virtual conference with all of its presentations being remote.
Please do not hesitate to request guidance regarding the MSM2020 conference from our secretary - Dr. Roman Trochimczuk (msm2020@pb.edu.pl).
