New Trends in Robotics: Automation and Autonomous Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of robotics is at the forefront of transformative innovations, with automation and autonomous systems driving intelligent manufacturing, AI-driven industries, and the evolution of smart factories. These advancements are integral to Industry 4.0 and 5.0, reshaping global industries through enhanced efficiency, precision, and adaptability. Key trends include the integration of predictive maintenance, additive manufacturing, collaborative robots (Cobots), autonomous navigation systems, and intelligent supply chains into complex environments. This Topic seeks to highlight cutting-edge research and development in areas such as intelligent manufacturing, machine learning applications in robotics, and next-generation AI technologies. By addressing challenges like human–robot collaboration, ethical frameworks, and system scalability, this collection will shape the future of automation and robotics as critical enablers of modern industry. Researchers and practitioners are invited to contribute innovations that redefine how robotics augments human capabilities in diverse domains.
