Special Session:
Finite-time Control in Automation and Industry
Finite-time control is a powerful control strategy that ensures system states reach desired values within a finite time, offering significant advantages over traditional asymptotic control methods. This approach is particularly vital in automation and robotics, where precision, speed, and reliability are of high importance. By assuring rapid convergence and robustness against disturbances, finite-time control enhances the performance and efficiency of robotic systems and automated processes.
In the context of Industry 4.0 and 5.0, finite-time control plays a pivotal role in enabling smart manufacturing, autonomous systems, and advanced robotics. It facilitates real-time decision-making, adaptive control, and seamless integration of cyber-physical systems. This session will explore the theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and future prospects of finite-time control, focusing on its applications in robotics, automation, and industry. In addition, some advanced topics about finite-time control such as fixed/stipulated/prescribed-time methods are covered within this special session.
Join us to gain insights from leading experts, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and discover how finite-time control is shaping the future of automation and robotics in the era of Industry 4.0 and 5.0.
