Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a new Special Issue entitled "Emerging Technologies for Assistive Robotics: Current Challenges and Future Perspectives". This Special Issue aims to gather innovative research regarding the rapid evolution of assistive robotics, a field that could transform the lives of individuals with disabilities or special needs.
We welcome submissions from researchers, engineers, and practitioners across various disciplines, including robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and healthcare. We are particularly interested in articles that explore the latest technological advancements in assistive robotics, such as exoskeletons, wearable devices, and autonomous assistants, as well as their potential applications in daily living, rehabilitation, and elderly care.
In addition to showcasing groundbreaking research, we encourage contributors to critically analyze the current challenges faced by the field, including technical limitations, ethical considerations, and societal barriers. We also welcome discussions concerning innovative solutions that could overcome these challenges and promote the development of more inclusive and accessible robotics.
