> About ICROS > Introduction
Control, Robotics, and Systems are central to the advancement of modern engineering, and have evolved to the point that they require strong cooperation among industry, academia and laboratories as well as cross-fertilization among many closely related disciplines. To serve these needs, the Institute of Control, Robotics, and Systems (ICROS) was founded by the concerted cooperation and efforts of electrical, electronics, mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineers in 1994. Today, ICROS is diligently leading the way in advancing these technologies as well as implementing them in various practical engineering problems.
ICROS has hosted the International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS) since 2001. ICCAS is typically attended by about 700 participants from about 30 countries. ICROS also publishes International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems (SCIE indexed). International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems was founded in 2003 and was indexed in SCIE in 2004. In 2022, it published 352 papers (4,111 pages) and had an impact factor of 3.2 (Q2). These ICROS activities clearly show that ICROS and Korea are leading the academic activities of control, robotics, and systems in Asia.
