SCOPE
Learning paradigms have played a crucial role in robotics and control over the years, ranging from supervised to reinforcement learning. Over the last decade, this role has received a significant momentum thanks to the rapid progress in parallel computing, leading to the breakthrough of deep learning. Recent works report impressive results also in challenging real-world applications, from vision-based control to multi-agent systems. The aim of this special session is to gather such achievements in control and robotic systems applications in a wide spectrum of scenarios, from automation and industry to automotive and farming.
