Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current context of the virus epidemic, intelligent robots provide great convenience for people's production and life. In the service industry, robots can order food, transport, carry out online education, accompany the elderly and children, etc. In the medical field, robots can assist surgery and perform nucleic acid testing in place of humans, which not only improves the quasi-certainty, but also ensures the safety of medical staff.
This Special Issue aims to publish research and applications related to medical and service robots. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Medical robotics;
- Service robotics;
- Rehabilitation robots;
- Surgical robots;
- Care robots;
- Robotics in COVID-19;
- Healthcare robotics;
- Prosthetics;
- Welfare robotics;
- Cure robots;
- Humanoid robots;
- Entertainment robotics;
- Rescue robotics;
- Cooperative and network robotics;
- Tele-robotics and tele-operation;
- Vision systems for automation and robotics;
- Smart sensors and sensor fusion;
- Implantable sensors for robotic applications;
- Instrumentation for robotics and automation;
- Mechatronics or robotics education.
