On August 23, within the framework of the 23rd IFAC World Congress in Busan, Republic of Korea, the workshop “Safety as a System Property — From Control Design to Data-Driven Autonomy”, co-organized by Astghik Hakobyan (NPUA, AUA) and Tigran Bakaryan (Institute of math, YSU), brought together leading experts to exchange ideas and perspectives on safety in autonomous systems.

The workshop featured insightful talks and discussions spanning control design, data-driven methods, and autonomous systems.

We sincerely thank all speakers — Naira Hovakimyan, Lars Lindemann, Navid Azizan, Yongxin Chen, Gioele Zardini, and Karl Henrik Johansson — for sharing their expertise.
