Marko S. Perić is an assistant at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Niš, where he serves within the Department of Mechanical Design, Development, and Engineering. His research focuses on designing new products, modeling and simulation, and the application of artificial intelligence in robotics—specifically the use of deep learning for system analysis and monitoring. He has participated in several significant projects involving the development of multi-purpose autonomous robotic platforms, such as AgAR (Agricultural Advanced Autonomous Robot), RoboShepherd (Automated System for Livestock and Grazing), SMART 2 (Advanced Integrated Track Obstacle Detection System for Smart Automation of Railway Transport), and ATUVIS (Autonomous Robot for Visual Inspection of Train Undercarriage). His expertise also encompasses mechanical elements, with an emphasis on planetary gearboxes, load-bearing capacity calculations, and the modeling of wear processes in gear pairs. He actively imparts both theoretical and practical knowledge to undergraduate and master’s students, effectively bridging fundamental engineering disciplines with contemporary digital and technological trends.
