This conference is devoted to presenting and discussing ongoing international activities related to aerospace robotics. Robots, operating in a remote and hostile environment such as Earth’s orbit or surface of another planet, bring many interesting scientific and technical challenges. The conference will create an opportunity to discuss main issues related to robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, control systems, mechatronics, etc. It will also provide a chance to exchange information with researchers involved in orbital mechanics, planetology and material sciences. Poland is a member of the European Space Agency (ESA) and many Polish space activities are synchronized with broader European programs. This may create new possibilities for international cooperation and development.
In 2022 the conference's format will be slightly changed in comparison with previous editions. Space Robot Dynamics Laboratory that forms a branch of CBK PAN in Zielona Góra has started a cooperation with Institute of Microelectronics in Frankfurt/Oder (Germany) in the framework of transboundary Interreg project named "SpaceRegion: Cross-border integration of the space sector". An important part of this project is dedicated to the development of space robot/manipulator controllers and their implementation in hardware (FPGAs, SoCs). The results of this activity as well as of several project case studies dedicated to AI methods in autonomous navigation will be presented at the Workshop on Space Microelectronics taking place in the last day of the conference.

Publication
Selected papers will be published after the CARO⁴ conference in journals: e.g., PAR - Measurement Automation Robotics (Pomiary Automatyka Robotyka), ISSN: 1427-9126; Artificial Satellites, ISSN: 2083-6104, or in GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences series.
Venue
This edition of the CARO⁴ conference will be held in Zielona Góra, the local government capital of the Lubuskie Voivodeship (western part of Poland). 2022 is a celebration year for Zielona Góra due to 800th anniversary of city founding (1222) and 700th anniversary of granting municipal rights (1323). Related events will be taking place whole year long, starting with "Grape-Harvest" in September 2022 until September 2023. The townspeople chose the anniversary slogan: "Zielona Góra lecie obchodzi – wino się chłodzi" ("Zielona Góra celebrates the anniversary - the wine is cooling").
