IFAC’s TC4.3 aims to address the academic, societal, and industrial issues related to robotics and discuss appropriate solutions. The specific topics to be covered include (but are not limited to):
- Societal, cultural, economic, and industrial demands for robotics.
- Technical and economic challenges in promoting the industrialization of robots.
- Mechatronics approaches for robot system development.
- The latest component technologies that constitute robots.
- Robot operating systems.
- Data collection, signal processing, and management for robots.
- Service design for robots and user feedback management.
- Cooperative control methods using multiple robots.
- Robot system simulation and reinforcement learning.
- Methods to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world application (Sim2real).
