Description
A collection of commissioned articles considering the areas of supervisory control of complex systems, the control of robotic systems in particular, and more widely the implication of this work for society as a whole. Application areas include safety and risk management, control of robots in manufacturing and environmental systems, and more generally the question of precise control from imprecise human input and judgement.
