Abstract: Extenics is a novel theoretical frame of matter element in the world leading science, which establishes the methodology of solving contradictory problems through the intelligent and innovative process in a formal, mathematical and logical way. Starting from the theoretical frame and having pillars the basic-element theory, extension set theory and extension logic, the special extension methodology are presented. The extensibility of matter-element including the divergent, conjugate, correlative, implicative and expansive nature are analyzed in robotics fields. The quantitative tools to solve the robotics contradictory problems based on extension set of extension mathematics are examined. Extension decision methods on robot control field are done by applying a series of comprehensive strategies using extension set and dependent function in order to transformations of goal matter-elements or condition matter-elements in consistency elements and rules of cognitive reasoning. The robotics intelligent control by extension theory and the basic concepts, structure and principles of extension control developed as the knowledge base, the characteristics pattern recognition, fusion of dependent degree on characteristic states, the measure pattern recognition, the adaptive mechanism, the control strategies as the main elements of the control system architecture. Finally, an advanced method is developed for solving contradictory problems in the motion control of autonomous robots by applying extension theory on a multi-dimensional space using non-linear attraction point principle and the network of attraction curves. The obtained results lead to development of a methodology that allows obtaining high level results for robot motion control using extended transformations onto the extension set and an optimization function generated by the extended dependence function in multidimensional space in comparison to the classical method using sequential logic matrices.
