The field of modeling and control has long been foundational to advancements in robotics and automation. Despite its pivotal role, there is a discernible decline in engagement within this crucial area, particularly among emerging researchers. This spotlight article introduces the newly formed Technical Committee (TC) on Robot Control (RC). This TC is committed to reversing this trend by emphasizing the enduring significance of foundational control disciplines within the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS).
