DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2023 course program of the European Embedded Con
 trol Institute (EECI)\, http://www.eeci-igsc.eu\, the International Gradua
 te School on Control of Soft and Articulated Elastic Robots will take plac
 e in the Aula Magna of DIAG between the afternoon of Monday\, May 22 and t
 he morning of Friday\, May 26\, 2023\, for a total of 21 lecture hours.The
  course will be taught by Cosimo Della Santina (Technical University of De
 lft\, The Netherlands)\, https://cosimodellasantina.eu\, and Alessandro De
  Luca (DIAG\, Sapienza University of Rome)\, http://www.diag.uniroma1.it/d
 eluca.Abstract: Humans and other animals still substantially outperform cl
 assic robots in performance\, reliability\, and efficiency. Interestingly\
 , their physical characteristics differ substantially from those of robots
 . Elastic tendons\, ligaments\, and muscles enable animals to interact rob
 ustly with the external world and perform dynamic tasks. On the contrary\,
  traditional robots have generally been very stiff and heavyweight. Theref
 ore\, robotics researchers have departed from the as-stiff-as-possible pri
 nciple in favor of lightweight and compliant structures. Taking inspiratio
 n from the natural example\, elastic and soft components are included in t
 he robot design\, yielding flexible joint or flexible link robots and\, mo
 re recently\, articulated and continuum soft robots. The latter are entire
 ly made of continuously deformable elements\, bringing them close to inver
 tebrate animals. This recent explosion of new robotic concepts opened up t
 he avenue of developing effective control strategies to manage the soft bo
 dy\, a nonlinear mechanical system with a large – possibly infinite – numb
 er of DOFs and\, as a result\, also a large degree of underactuation from 
 the control point of view. This course aims at introducing such control ch
 allenge. We will review established results in the field\, introduce the m
 ost recent advances\, and discuss interesting open issues. Topics:• Introd
 uction to robotics beyond rigid robots• Flexible joint and articulated sof
 t robots: dynamic model\, structural properties\, control• Flexible link r
 obots: dynamic model\, structural properties\, control• Modelling soft rob
 ots: Constant curvature\, strain discretization\, general form of equation
 s• Controlling soft robots: shape regulation (general case and subclasses)
 \, shape tracking\, and task-space control The course schedule is as follo
