  The concept of dynamics and control implies the combination of dynamic analysis and control synthesis. It is essential to gain an insight into the dynamics of a nonlinear system with uncertainty if any new control strategy is designed to utilize nonlinearity. However, the new control strategy to be proposed must be robust enough so that any unexpected small disturbances will not alter the desired target of control. Such a concept is calling more attention to the modelling and simplification of dynamic systems subject to uncertain environment, the fine analysis and robust design of controlled dynamic systems based on either good understanding of nonlinear phenomena or artificial intelligence, the combination of passive control, active control and semi-active control, as well as the interaction among sensors, controllers and actuators.
