Foreword: This book contains the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO 2020), which is sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), and held in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (ACM SIGAI), the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), euRobotics AISBL, the Portuguese Robotics Society (SPR), the International Neural Network Society (INNS) and the British Automation and Robot Association (BARA). This year ICINCO was, exceptionally, held as a web-based event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 7 - 9 July. The ICINCO Conference Series has now become a major forum to debate technical and scientific advances presented by researchers and developers both from academia and industry, working in areas related to Control, Automation and Robotics that benefit from Information Technology. The high quality of the ICINCO 2020 program is enhanced by the three keynote lectures, given by internationally recognized researchers, namely: Roland Siegwart (Autonomous Systems Lab & Wyss Zurich, ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Eduardo F. Camacho (University of Seville, Spain) and Jean-Michel Coron (Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France). ICINCO 2020 received 123 paper submissions from 33 countries of which 23% were accepted as full papers. In order to evaluate each submission, a double blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee. As in previous editions of the Conference, based on the reviewer’s evaluations and the presentations, selected authors from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for a book that will be published by Springer with the best papers of ICINCO 2020. We would like to express our thanks and appreciations to all participants. First of all, to the authors, whose quality work is the essence of this conference. Second, to all the members of the Program Committee and all reviewers, who helped us with their expertise and valuable time they have invested in reviewing submitted papers. We would also like to deeply thank the invited speakers for their excellent contributions and sharing their knowledge and vision. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the professional support of the INSTICC team for all organizational processes, especially given the need to introduce online streaming, forum management, direct messaging facilitation and other web-based activities in order to make it possible for ICINCO 2020 authors to present their work and share ideas with colleagues in spite of the logistic difficulties caused by the current pandemic situation. We hope that you will enjoy the conference and we look forward to having additional research results presented at the next edition of ICINCO. (More)
