The 2nd international workshop on Chassis Systems Control and Autonomous Driving control (CSC-AD’21)
Scope
The automotive industry is in the verge of an important revolution. Autonomous driving will lead car manufacturers and equipment suppliers to acquire new technologies and renew their innovations. Novel systems have to be embedded, from robotic vision to actuators control. On one hand, due to the complexity and uncertainty of the overall problem, Model Based Design approach could be insufficient and more data-based design should be added to to improve the controllability of the vehicle. On the other hand, since several uncertain systems should be implemented within the same vehicle, the coordination of all these systems is major key to the safe operation of the autonomous vehicle. Car manufacturers, equipment suppliers and other intelligent mobility stakeholders should work hand in hand in order to make autonomous driving a reality.
​
Within this context, and thanks to the success of the first edition, the IV2021 2nd international workshop on Chassis Systems Control and Autonomous Driving control (CSC-AD'21) welcomes intelligent control, estimation and modeling contributions aimed at the safe, comfortable, and effective development of combined vehicle motion control systems. The aim of this workshop is to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and discussions on recent trends in learning-based and model-based coordinated control and estimation applied to chassis systems and AD/ADAS control. List of specific topics:
-
Combined Chassis Systems and AD/ADAS Control,
-
Global Vehicle Motion Control,
-
Autonomous Vehicles Control,
-
Over-Actuation, Systems Interactions and Management,
-
Fault-Tolerance Control,
-
Learning-Based Model Predictive Control,
-
Supervisory Control and Vehicles Collision-Free Control,
-
Adaptive and Robust Control Theory,
-
Friction and Tire Forces Estimation,
-
Comfort Design and Suspension Control.

He received the outstanding paper award from ICROS at the 2019 19th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2019). Finally, Dr. Kissai was also an associate editor at ITSC 2019, ITSC 2020, IV 2020 where he served as chairman of the 1st edition of CSC-AD, and he is now an associate editor at IV 2021.
Bruno Monsuez received his PhD in computer science in 1994, and his degree of Engineer in 1989 from École Polytechnique, France. He started his academic career at École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France working on automated verification of Software and Hardware Systems. He was on leave about 10 years working for pioneering the formal system design methodology and formal verification methods in the industry. His current research interests are on the design and validation of highly automated systems as well as autonomous systems for safety critical systems. He is currently Full Professor in the Autonomous Systems and Robotics Lab in the Computer Science and System Engineering Department (U2IS), at ENSTA Paris, France. Prof. Bruno Monsuez served on PCs and as PC chair for numerous international workshops and conferences. He is the steering committee chair of Int. Conference on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (VECoS).
Adriana Tapus obtained the French Habilitation (HDR) for her thesis entitled “Towards Personalized Human-Robot Interaction” from Sorbonne University, France in 2011. She received her PhD in computer science from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland in 2005, and her degree of Engineer in computer science and engineering from Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania in 2001. She worked as an Associate Researcher at the University of Southern California (USC), where she was among the pioneers on the development of socially assistive robotics, also participating to activity in machine learning, human sensing, and human-robot interaction. Her main interests are on long-term learning (i.e. in particular in interaction with humans), human modeling, and on-line robot behavior adaptation to external environmental factors. She is currently a Full Professor in the Autonomous Systems and Robotics Lab in the Computer Science and System Engineering Department (U2IS), at ENSTA Paris, France. Prof. Tapus is an Associate Editor for International Journal of Social Robotics (IJSR), ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI), and IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems (TCDS) and in the steering committee of several major robotics conferences (General Chair 2019 of HRI, Program Chair 2018 of HRI, General Chair 2017 of ECMR). She has more than 150 research publications and she received the Romanian Academy Award for her contributions in assistive robotics in 2010.
