Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the urgent requirements of environmental exploration, transportation, the service industry, and military applications, it is crucial that we develop intelligent mobile robots to replace humans in completing dangerous tasks and to improve efficiency. To attain these objectives, mobile robots must be capable of intelligent decision-making, safe motion planning, and accurate motion control. This session will exhibit and discuss the latest research in advanced decision-making, planning, and control technologies for mobile robots (including, but not limited to, wheeled robots, legged robots, flying robots, underwater robots, etc.) in order to improve the reliability, adaptability, and maneuverability of such robots. This session aims to encourage researchers to share new ideas and new methods for enhancing and exploring the potential of mobile robots.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

  • Advanced decision-making and embodied AI technologies;
  • Fast trajectory planning and collision avoidance for mobile robots;
  • Robust state estimation and filtering for mobile robots;
  • Motion control in an unstructured environment;
  • Learning-based motion control technologies;
  • Human–robot interactions;
  • Other related issues.

Aiming at the operation optimization and evaluation problems of a park-level integrated energy system with mobile robots, the current research status and main problems are reviewed from three aspects: classification of operation optimization objectives, sorting of evaluation methods, establishment of evaluation index system, and selection of evaluation methods. In terms of target classification, a clear taxonomy can be established by categorizing objectives into quantitative and qualitative indicators. From the perspectives of the economic, technical, environmental, and social dimensions, each indicator can be organized into three levels for systematic analysis and discussion. In terms of evaluation methods, the common evaluation methods of the park-level integrated energy system in the past ten years are summarized and organized. Then, the common secondary indicators are analyzed, the principle of the establishment of the evaluation index system is summarized, and suggestions are given for the selection of combined evaluation methods by discussing the common evaluation methods. Finally, the content is summarized and the research work on the operation optimization objectives and evaluation methods of the park-level integrated energy system is prospected. Full article
