Mobile Robots and Autonomous Vehicles with Clean and Cognitive Mobility

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue titled "Mobile Robots and Autonomous Vehicles with Clean and Cognitive Mobility" explores the cutting-edge technology trends and challenges in robotics and autonomous vehicles, focusing on electrification and energy-saving strategies. This Special Issue delves into the interdisciplinary nature of mobile robotics and self-driving cars, addressing navigation and perception, control systems, human–robot interaction, and energy-efficient design. Contributions include, but are not limited to, the following: theoretical frameworks, novel algorithms, experimental studies, and real-world applications. It also aims to shed light on the latest trends, innovations, and societal implications. Integrating discussions on electrification and energy-saving measures, this Special Issue seeks to promote sustainable practices in developing and deploying robotic systems, paving the way towards greener and more environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
