Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial robots represent one of the key drivers of Industry 4.0. In recent years, they have significantly evolved, becoming more productive, agile, safer, and collaborative. In this context, numerous approaches and technological innovations have been introduced in this domain to tackle diverse problems and challenges in a variety of industries and applications.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art contributions to industrial robot technology and present innovative developments, methodologies, and trends in research and real-world applications.
This Special Issue will highlight advances in the following areas but is not limited to them:
- Design and modeling of robotic systems;
- Robot kinematics/dynamics/control;
- AI technologies;
- Human-robot interactions;
- Cooperative robots;
- Flexible grippers and tactile sensing;
- Robot vision;
- Motion planning and optimization;
- Experimental evaluation and benchmarking;
- Robotic applications.
