Integrating Robotics into High-Accuracy Industrial Operations

Dear Colleagues,

Robotic technology has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, making it increasingly capable of handling complex tasks with high accuracy and precision. These advancements include the development of advanced sensors, intelligent algorithms, and sophisticated control systems that enable robots to perform tasks with a level of accuracy that surpasses human capabilities. This makes them well-suited for applications where accuracy is of the utmost importance, such as precision machining, assembly, measurement, and quality control. Robots have become a key driving force for enhancing production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and catalyzing innovation in the industrial sector.

This Special Issue aims to explore the cutting-edge advancements, challenges, and solutions pertaining to robotics technology in high-accuracy industrial operations. We encourage the submission of original research articles, reviews, and short communications focused on precision machining, assembly, measurement, quality control, etc. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Robotic applications in high-accuracy manufacturing and machining;
2. Optimal design of industrial robotics for precise machining;
3. Human-robot collaboration in high-accuracy applications;
4. High-accuracy autonomous navigation and control in industrial environments;
5. Quality control and inspection using robotic systems;
6. Optimization of logistics and supply chain operations through robotics;
7. Robotics-enabled predictive maintenance in high-accuracy machinery;
8. Integration of artificial intelligence in high-accuracy robotic systems;
9. Robotic solutions for high-accuracy material handling and manipulation tasks;
10. Sensing methods systems and technologies for high accuracy robotic applications;
11. Safety considerations in deploying robotics for high-accuracy and precision tasks;
12. Virtual and augmented reality as tool enabling high-accuracy robotic application.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Robotics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
