This book focuses on the latest research and development in control, robotics, and automation. Through fifteen revised and expanded articles, it provides a state-of-the-art overview of these fields, offering researchers, PhD students, and engineers both updated knowledge and inspiration. The editors have intentionally balanced theoretical aspects with practical accomplishments and implementations, creating a book that offers a factual perspective on current research. The book's inclusion of non-standard applications of identification and control is a further key strength.
