Applications and Challenges of Intelligent Robotic Technology in Industrial Automation

Dear Colleagues,

With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, more and more companies are using intelligent robotic technology to improve their production efficiency and quality. Intelligent robotic technology can not only complete simple repetitive tasks, but can also handle more complex tasks with higher accuracy and reliability. However, in practical applications, intelligent robotic technology faces many challenges such as environmental perception, path planning, and cooperative control. Therefore, studying the applications and challenges of intelligent robotic technology in industrial automation is of great significance.

This Special Issue invites scholars, engineers, and researchers to share their latest research on the application of intelligent robotic technology in industrial automation.

Research topics that are of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• The design and development of intelligent robotic systems;
• Machine vision, sensors, and control technology;
• Robot path planning and motion control;
• Robot collaboration and coordination control;
• Applications of intelligent manufacturing and IoT technology.
