Varieties of mechatronic applications require advanced motion control techniques, realized by integrating smart control strategies, high precision sensing, and innovative actuators. Advanced motion control methodologies and/or techniques for fast and precise control of motion (position, velocity, and force) in various industrial mechatronic systems will bring innovative solutions and high quality of life. The scope of the session is to bring together prominent researchers in the field of motion control, and to present their recent results to the large audience of IECON 2017.
