Intelligent Control in Contemporary Robotics

Modern technological systems are characterized by poor system and subsystem models, high dimensionality of the decision space, distributed sensors and decision makers, high noise levels, multiple subsystems, levels, timescales and/or performance criteria, complex information patterns, overwhelming amount of data and stringent performance requirements. Hence, contemporary research in technological systems is oriented towards multi-disciplinary studies based on the synthesis and application of various control and management paradigms needed for efficient realization of the complex technological system goals and requirements and coping at the same time with all the mentioned problems and constraints.
