Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robotics is evolving from being a technology-driven field to being one centered on practical applications that address real-world challenges. This Special Issue, titled "Robotics: From Technologies to Applications", will showcase the latest advancements and innovative solutions in robotics, spanning various sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and service industries.
We invite contributions that explore the technical challenges and breakthroughs in robotic perception, manipulation, mobility, human–robot interactions, and autonomous systems. Papers demonstrating practical applications and real-world implementations are particularly welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI for robotic perception and decision-making;
- Advanced sensing and actuation technologies;
- Human–robot interaction and collaboration;
- Robotics in healthcare and rehabilitation;
- Agricultural robotics for precision farming and harvesting;
- Industrial robots for manufacturing and automation;
- Service robots for logistics, retail, and hospitality.
We look forward to your valuable contributions, which will advance the field of robotics and demonstrate its transformative impact on society.
