Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robots have typical advantages such as easy installation, flexible use, high degrees of freedom, strong load capacity, and the ability to operate in hazardous environments. Robots can serve as industrial platforms, paired with different end effectors, to complete various manufacturing processes, such as processing, assembly, laying, welding, handling, and measurement. Moreover, in different manufacturing processes, it can replace humans in order to achieve digital and intelligent manufacturing. In recent years, with the advancement of high-precision execution capabilities, multifunctional end effectors, human–machine interaction, rapid programming, multi-machine collaboration, sensors, and other technologies, robots are receiving significant attention in the manufacturing field, and more and more robot-assisted manufacturing systems are being applied in industrial production sites.
In this Special Issue of JMMP, we are looking for recent findings which focus on Robotic-Assisted Manufacturing Systems, including research on their application and associated research fields. Papers will be considered that show significant advancements according to human–machine integration, digital twins, human–machine collaboration, reconfigurable robots, autonomous mobile robots, intelligent robots, and typical applications of robots in various manufacturing processes.
