Due to recent pandemic, 2021 3rd International Conference on Robotics, Intelligent Control and Artificial Intelligence (ICRICA 2021) was held virtually online on December 03 - 05, 2021. The decision to hold the virtual conference was made in compliance with many restrictions and regulations that were imposed by countries around the globe. Such restrictions were made to minimize the risk of people contracting or spreading the COVID-19 through physical contact. There were 150 individuals who attended this on-line conference, represented many countries.ICRICA 2021 brings together industry professionals and academics from research institute, governmental agencies, and universities around the world to exchange information on advances in Robotics, Intelligent Control and Artificial Intelligence. The objective of the ICRICA 2021 is to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the area of Robotics, Intelligent Control and Artificial Intelligence and related technologies, and provides attendees with a unique opportunity to share, discuss, and witness research results, thereby creating a common platform for exchanging ideas and fostering future developments in the field.During the conference, the conference model was divided into three sessions, including oral presentations, keynote speeches, and online Q&A discussion. In the first part, some scholars, whose submissions were selected as the excellent papers, were given about 5-10 minutes to perform their oral presentations one by one. Then in the second part, keynote speakers were each allocated 30-45 minutes to hold their speeches. In the second part, we invited three professors as our keynote speakers. Prof. Rüdiger Dillmann, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, German (IEEE Fellow, IROS Fellow). His research interest is in the areas of humanoid robotics and neurorobotics with special emphasis on intelligent, autonomous, and interactive robot behavior generated with the help of machine learning methods and programming by demonstration (PbD). The second keynote speakers, Prof. Xiaofang Yuan, Hunan University, China. His research area includes intelligent control theory and application, electric vehicle control, robot drive control. Lastly, we were glad to invite Prof. Hui Zhang, Hunan University, China as our finale keynote speakers. He is mainly engaged in the research of intelligent robot vision detection, deep learning image recognition and other fields. Their insightful speeches had triggered heated discussion in the third session of the conference. Every participant praised this conference for disseminating useful and insightful knowledge.The proceedings are a compilation of the accepted papers and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. Topics include but are not limited to the following areas: Robot structure design and control, Sensor/actuator networks, Robot kinematics and dynamics, Robot operating system and other related topics. All the papers have been through rigorous review and process to meet the requirements of international publication standard.List of Committee member are available in this pdf.
