Artificial Intelligence(AI) in Robotics

Dear Colleagues,

Robotic technology has played a key role in a number of areas, including daily life, industrial applications and medical applications. Artificial intelligence, in particular, machine learning, is crucial and important for intelligent robots or unmanned/autonomous systems, such as UAVs, UGVs, UUVs, cooperative robots, etc. For human beings, capabilities such as perceiving visual information, adapting to uncertain environments and making decisions to take action in a complex system make people distinct from animals. Significant progress has been made towards human-like intelligence in robotics; however, there are still many unresolved problems. In recent decades, techniques such as deep learning, reinforce learning, real-time learning, swarm intelligence and other emerging techniques such tiny-ML have been developed, which have been applied in robotics. We believe that the increasing demands and challenges posed by real-world problems involving robotic applications promote academic research of artificial intelligence as well as robotics. The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together scientists, experts and engineers throughout the world to present and share their recent research results and innovative ideas related to artificial intelligence in robotics. Various applications of artificial intelligence in robotics, in particular, AI, through visual and motional information will also be covered by this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
