Advances in Mobile Robotics Navigation, 2nd Volume
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous robots have become an enabling technology that has the potential to transform industry and society. The deployment of mobile robots requires endowing them with the ability to autonomously navigate within the target environment, which may be a priori unknown. Therefore, research activities are necessary to: (a) optimize the design of the robot (b) perceive the necessary information from the environment and (c) process this information and control the robot in such a way that it can cope with unexpected events in real working environments. The aim of this topic is to present current and innovative works which contribute to the improvement of the navigation abilities of mobile robots. Relevant topics include:
- Mechanical design of mobile robots;
- Sensing applications in mobile robots;
- Actuators in mobile robots;
- Localization of mobile robots;
- Control of mobile robots;
- Artificial intelligence in mobile robotics;
- Human–robot interaction;
- Applications of mobile robots.
