The rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 is fundamentally reshaping the global automotive sector, positioning digitalization, automation, and robotics as core drivers of innovation and competitiveness. This paper examines the implementation and impact of Industry 4.0 technologies in three leading vehicle-producing countries with distinct industrial trajectories - China, India, and the United States. Through a comparative approach, the study explores the relationship between annual vehicle production, the intensity of industrial robot adoption, and the integration of smart manufacturing solutions. Special attention is given to robotics-both industrial and collaborative-as a key enabler of efficiency, flexibility, and innovation in production systems. The analysis also highlights the fundamental components of Industry 4.0, including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital factories, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins, which collectively enable the synergy between humans, machines, and data. The paper presents recent trends in robotization and digital integration within automotive manufacturing, accompanied by an overview of national policies and investment priorities. Findings reveal that China leads in absolute vehicle output and robot installations, the United States focuses on highly automated and digitally connected production systems, while India is rapidly developing its capacities through selective and adaptive implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies.

Picture this: a world where machines can decode the intricate rhythms of the human body, tracing electrical patterns from the brain and heart to uncover hidden signs of disease. Artificial intelligence has brought this vision closer to reality, transforming electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) analysis into a sophisticated fusion of data science and medicine. Yet, the journey is far from complete. Biomedical signals are notoriously complex—drenched in noise, prone to variability, and demanding meticulous preprocessing before they reveal their secrets. This review embarks on a deep dive into the essential preprocessing and feature engineering techniques that refine raw EEG and ECG data, making them suitable for intelligent analysis. From signal filtering to wavelet transformations, each step in the pipeline plays a crucial role in shaping AI’s ability to detect meaningful patterns. Particular attention is given to recurrent neural networks (RNNs), which excel in capturing the temporal dependencies hidden within these signals but come with their own set of computational hurdles. Beyond technical refinement, the discussion extends into the future—how can multimodal AI enhance clinical diagnostics?

The implementation of new Industry 4.0 technologies in robotics (mobile and collaborative robotics) with artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping maintenance planning in advanced manufacturing. This paper analyzes the application of robotic systems combining collaborative robots (cobots) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) as support for predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance is based on continuous real-time visual monitoring with the goal of managing faults. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative metrics such as downtime reduction, mean time to repair, and return on investment with qualitative staff assessments. The results of implementing robotic systems to support predictive maintenance indicate a significant reduction in production downtime, increased operational efficiency, and faster resolution of faults in the manufacturing process. In addition to technical efficiency, the study analyzes the economic feasibility, stability, and challenges of implementing AI vision systems within Industry 4.0. Compared to previously published studies in this field, this work is distinguished by the implementation of a cobot and an AMR in a unified system for visual inspection and control, with real-time data used for predictive maintenance. The system is connected to Computerized Maintenance Management Systems software for maintenance planning and monitoring and Enterprise Resource Planning software for real-time business activity planning. The results demonstrate that the integration of advanced robotics, computer vision, and machine learning algorithms enables the transformation of the traditional reactive approach into a proactive asset management model, thereby ensuring a long-term sustainable increase in reliability, safety, and competitiveness of the manufacturing processes.

Computer aided design (CAD) 3D modelling is one of the engineering tasks which is largely routine tasks with a large amount of repetition of the same operations to get from the initial idea for a new product to a 3D model ready for manufacturing. As with all other forms of routine tasks, artificial intelligence (AI) will certainly play a significant role in the future and it will largely automate such jobs. On the other hand, additive manufacturing (AM) can use AI generated CAD 3D models to produce finial product without the need (or with minimal need) for human labour. The combination of these two technologies will certainly shape the future of product design, development and manufacturing. Overview of the current possibilities of using artificial intelligence (AI) and additive manufacturing (AM) in the field of product development, design and manufacturing is presented in this paper. From the point of view of CAD modelling, special attention is given to the so-called "text to 3D model" systems. The challenges, possibilities and further directions of development of these technologies are shown through two real case studies (design, development and manufacturing of two stool chairs). Stool chairs design was generated with the help of "text to 3D model" AI System in a form of 3D models. The generated 3D models were then manufactured with the help of AM.In the last chapter of the paper a comparative analysis of the time spent by human labour for the development, design and manufacturing of this two stool chairs using conventional methods and using AI and AM is carried out

This paper presents a data mining approach for Audit opinion pre¬diction in Government-owned enterprises within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina using the Decision tree algorithm. A database was constructed from financial statements covering 2004-2019, incorporating indicators from balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, alongside cor¬responding Audit opinions from the state audit body. The study evaluates three Decision tree algorithms (J48, RandomTree, REPTree) on data from 2020-2023, with REPTree achieving 73% classification accuracy through seven predictive rules. The findings demonstrate the potential of data mining techniques for pattern recognition in audit reports, contributing to transparency in financial reporting and supporting regulatory authorities in detecting irregularities within Government-owned enterprises.

It is well known that with the emergence of Industry 4.0, the focus was placed on the digitalization and automation of industrial processes through technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, which led us in the direction of smart production processes with the goal of ‘’smart factories’’. Unlike Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 emphasizes the importance of humanization of technology, where people and robots work together in a harmonious environment. The paper examines whether advanced robotic technology can be synergistically integrated with human creativity to create more efficient, innovative and sustainable production practices. The paper explores the key elements that enable the integration of robotic technology and human creativity, including collaborative robots (cobots), artificial intelligence that supports creative processes and advanced sensor systems. Collaborative robots, designed to work safely alongside humans, take over routine and physically demanding tasks, freeing up time for workers to focus on creative and strategic activities. AI technologies analytically support human decisions, enabling faster and more informed innovation. Ethical and safety aspects of robotic technology integration are discussed, emphasizing the need for a transparent and responsible approach. The application of robotic technology in industry brings significant benefits, including increased productivity, cost reduction, improved worker safety and more sustainable development. The key to the success of Industry 5.0 is in creating a balanced synergy between technology and human creativity. By harmonizing automation with humanization, industry can achieve new levels of innovation and efficiency, adapting to the dynamic needs of the global marketplace. This approach ensures not only technological progress, but also social responsibility, thus laying the foundations for a sustainable and prosperous future for the industry.

Summary This paper presents the influence of equal channel angular extrusion on the microstructure and properties of composites based on the A356.0 aluminium alloy with the addition of 6 wt.% fly ash as reinforcement. The composite was produced using the compo casting method. The microstructure of the composite was analysed using an optical microscope, computer tomography, and scanning electron microscopy. Rosettes and spheroidal particles were observed in the microstructure of the cast sample, and there was a good distribution of fly ash within the matrix. Equal channel angular extrusion was performed in three passes at the same parameters. After each pass, the microstructure was refined, and fly ash was even better mixed into the matrix. Thus, the strength and hardness of the composite increased after each pass. A fully homogeneous material was achieved after the second pass.
