The primary topic for the SYROCO 2021 will be “Robots control with humans in the loop”. Robots are widely used for space, surgery, rehabilitation, micro machine, entertainment, underwater, civil engineering, professional and domestic services, security etc… Without control technology, robots wouldn’t be able to do what they are now able to do. While continuing to play an important role in unmanned areas, they will play an increasing role in areas where humans and robots are in the same space and where the robot may provide support to the human in various scenarios cobots, exoskeletons, or educational robots to name a few examples. This close relation between robots and humans means that new problems of control are emerging and have to be solved.
This Symposium will provide an opportunity to present and discuss research and development work in the hot area of the field. Contributions on basic research as well as on relevant applications are expected.
