Special Issue on Automation and Robotics

The robotics is an important part of modern engineering and is related to a group of branches such as electric & electronics, computer, mathematics and mechanism design. The interest in robotics has been steadily increasing during the last decades. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in automation, robotics as well as control theory.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Automation and Robotics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Control theory and applications     
• Sensors and machine vision
• Robot programming and languages
• Artificial intelligence
• Design and development of novel robotic systems
• Robotic surgery, rehabilitation, self-assembly
• Automation in algorithm and program developments
• Optimization design, modeling, and simulation
• Robot learning and ontogeny 
• Human-robot interaction  

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Automation and Robotics” should be selected during your submission.
