Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In our everyday lives, intelligent robot systems are being increasingly and more widely applied. To improve the ability of robots to learn, adapt, and operate, intelligent control which mimics human intelligence is a useful and well-known advanced technique. Intelligent control includes various artificial intelligence techniques such as fuzzy logic control, neuro-fuzzy control, expert systems, genetic control, evolutionary algorithms, reconfigurable control, and swarm algorithms.

This Special Issue, entitled “Intelligent Control and Applications for Robotics”, is focused on the latest novel advancements of intelligent control methods in robotic applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Intelligent control and its application;
  • Intelligent robotics and related fields;
  • Internet of Things;
  • Multi-agent systems;
  • Advanced robot control systems;
  • Optimal and learning control;
  • Soft computing.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

One of the most pressing issues in the field of mobile robotics is power delivery. In the past, we have proposed a powered floor based solution. In this article, we propose a system which combines a powered floor with a robot pose estimation system. The floor on which the mobile robots stand is composed of an array of interdigitated conductors that provide DC power supply; the stripes of conductors are interwoven similarly to what happens in a carpet, thus creating a sort of checkerboard of positive and negative pads. The robots are powered through sliding contacts. The power supply voltage is modulated with a binary encoding that uniquely identifies each conductor stripe power line; in this way, each robot is able to self-localize, by exploiting the information coming from the contacting pins. We describe the theoretical framework that allows concurrent power delivery and localization (with error boundaries). Then, we present the experimental evaluation that we performed using a prototype realization of the proposed powered floor system. Full article
