Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, robots with autonomous driving technology are receiving significant attention across various fields. Mobile robots are not limited to the ground but are expanding their domain to underwater, water (surface) and air. In this Special Issue, we include excellent studies across all areas of recognition, decision-making, and the control of autonomous driving robots applied to diverse areas. It is expected that various research results will be shared, from experimental research using robot hardware to simulation-based research using simulation tools.
