# IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Website: Focus is on both applied and theoretical issues in robotics and automation\. Robotics is here defined to include intelligent machines and systems; whereas automation includes the use of automated methods in various applications to improve performance and productivity\. The society sponsors a number of conferences, including the annual International Conference on Robotics and Automation\.

## News
- [Q\&A: Mars Perseverance Rover Distance Record](https://www.ieee-ras.org/news/qa-mars-perseverance-rover-distance-record/): On October 11, the Perseverance rover completed a drive that brought its total distance traveled on Mars to 28\.10 miles \(45\.22 kilometers\)\. This is a new record for Mars rovers, enabled in large part by Perseverance’s ability to drive with much more autonomy than its predecessors\. Over the last five years, Perseverance’s autonomy software has…

- [State\-Adaptive Path\-Following Control of Magnetic Microrobots on Undulating Flexible Surfaces](https://www.ieee-ras.org/news/state-adaptive-path-following-control-of-magnetic-microrobots-on-undulating-flexible-surfaces/): Magnetic microrobots exhibit significant potential for remote\-controlled tasks within confined, unstructured biomedical environments, where they can interact with soft tissue substrates and achieve locomotion through surface contact\. However, in environments such as the gastrointestinal tract, dynamic tissue undulations, compliant surface deformation, and spatially varying friction lead to uncertain contact disturbances\. These disturbances hinder gait propulsion…
- [Fixed\-Time Prescribed Performance Incremental Dynamic Surface Control Based on an Improved Observer for Ball Screw Feed Systems](https://www.ieee-ras.org/news/fixed-time-prescribed-performance-incremental-dynamic-surface-control-based-on-an-improved-observer-for-ball-screw-feed-systems/): To address the degradation of position tracking performance in ball screw feed systems caused by rigid\-flexible coupling, model uncertainties, and compound disturbances, this paper proposes a fixed\-time prescribed performance incremental dynamic surface control method based on an improved observer\. First, a hierarchical recursive incremental model of the BSFS is established from the local incremental relationships…
- [Prescribed\-Time Composite Learning Tracking Control for High\-Order Fully Actuated Systems With Tracking Error and Output Constraints](https://www.ieee-ras.org/news/prescribed-time-composite-learning-tracking-control-for-high-order-fully-actuated-systems-with-tracking-error-and-output-constraints/): Existing prescribed\-time control methods mostly focus on regulation or tracking control during finite time intervals\. In this paper, a novel prescribed\-time composite learning tracking control scheme that ensures sustained tracking over an infinite time interval is proposed for uncertain high\-order fully actuated \(HOFA\) systems with both tracking error constraints and output constraints\. First, a prediction…
