Theme:

The prevalence of computation cores integrated with physical processes boosts the developments of autonomous intelligent robots, which are tangibly interacted with operational environments, humans and other robots as well as adapt to complex dynamical uncertainties leading to enormous potentials on targeted therapy and deep space exploration. Note that the crux of capture, tracking and stretch of robot lies in the feasible motion control, whereas utilizing data-based strategies to guarantee the robustness and safety of robot remains an open problem nowadays. This special session focuses on (but not limit to) data-driven control for intelligent robots with closed-loop performance guarantees in the presence of unknown uncertainties and with smart rigidsoft coupling structures.
