In tribotronics\, components\, such as bearings and gears\, can incorporate sensors\, intelligence and actuat ors to truly optimise their performance while in service\, stepping beyond the conventional situation in which such components are passive devices. This paper will explore this concept and present some recent research in t he area to examine how such components may contribute further to sustainab le engineering.\n\nProf Sherrington&rsquo\;s is an expert in the measureme nt/prediction of friction\, wear and lubricating film thickness in machine components. His current research focuses on the development of active mac hine elements\, a subject called &ldquo\;tribotronics&rdquo\;. Traditional ly\, mechanical elements such as bearings\, seals &\; gears\, are passi ve\, tribotronics is a novel concept where sensors and actuators are emplo yed in components or systems to dynamically modify the performance of mach ine elements whilst they are in operation. The use of tribotronics turns a component into an intelligent device that monitors and controls itself to enhance its own health/life and performance.\n\nProf Sherrington has led over 80 research/commercial projects and has published widely. In 2016 he was selected\, along with nine other tribologists from across the world\, to be presented to HRH Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace as part of t he 50th Anniversary of Tribology. He is a winner of the prestigious Donald Julius Groen Prize\, and in 2018 he became the world&rsquo\;s first Profe ssor of Tribotronics at KTH\, Stockholm.
