Special Issue “Modern Problems of Robotics and Control Theory”: An Introductory Note

This issue encompasses the collection of articles, which highlight emerging, novel meth- ods in control theory crucial for applications in robotics and mechanics, with a focus on both theoretical advancements and practical engineering solutions. The papers of the issue can be roughly divided into two groups, where the first one is focused the elaborating new tools and analytical arguments of control theory for solving motion planning and motion control assignments in new settings. Meanwhile, the second group of the papers provides an anal- ysis of specific control engineering problems and reflects various contributions of technical nature.
