Because of its systematic approach to problem-solving, automatic control is now an interdisciplinary science. Springer publishing house published the Terminological Dictionary of Automatic Control, Systems and Robotics, authored by Prof. Juš Kocijan from the Department of Systems and Control from Jozef Stefan Institute and co-authors Prof. Rihard Karba, Prof. Tadej Bajd, Dr. Mojca Žagar Karer and Dr. Gorazd Karer. The dictionary contains terms from the fields of automatic control, which include mathematical modelling, simulation of dynamic systems, automation technology with its corresponding elements, and robotics. The terminological dictionary primarily aims at experts and students dealing with control technology and dynamic systems in technical and non-technical domains. To use the dictionary, at least basic knowledge in this field is required. In the dictionary, users will find concise terminological definitions. Different terms may designate a concept; therefore, cross-references are used. The dictionary aims to collect and unify – at least to an achievable extent – the terminology in automatic control, dynamic systems and robotics.
