Dear Colleagues,

2022 International Conference on Advanced Control, Automation and Robotics (ICACAR 2022) will be held in Guangzhou, China on March 26–28, 2022.

The International Conference on Advanced Control, Automation, and Robotics (ICACAR 2022) aims to bring together researchers, engineers, scientists and industry professionals in areas related to advanced control, automation and robotics in a single platform and to present their stimulating research and knowledge transfer ideas in both advanced control, automation, and robotics. Leading researchers and industry experts from around the globe will present the latest studies through oral or poster presentations. ICACAR 2022 welcomes new research in the areas of advanced control, automation, and robotics, such as intelligent control systems and optimization, robotics and automation, signal processing, sensors, systems modeling and control, industrial engineering, production, management, and artificial intelligence. However, we also recognize that the future of advanced control, automation, and robotics scientists and engineers is one where they will be working in interdisciplinary teams to solve new, complex, and evolving problems that will require innovative solutions. Therefore, we encourage the participation of other disciplines in this conference, at which multidisciplinary research and knowledge transfer projects will be presented.

The authors of a number of selected full papers of high quality will be invited after the conference to submit revised and extended versions of their originally accepted conference papers to this Special Issue of Information, published by MDPI in open access. The selection of these best papers will be based on their ratings in the conference review process, quality of presentation during the conference, and expected impact on the research community. For each submission to this Special Issue, at least 50% of the content should be new material, e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases, and there should be a change of title, abstract, and keywords. These extended submissions will undergo a peer review process according to the journal’s rules of action. At least two technical committees will act as reviewers for each extended article submitted to this Special Issue; if needed, additional external reviewers will be invited to guarantee a high-quality reviewing process.
