Robot Intelligence Technology

Dear Colleagues,

A century ago, humans had no idea about computers; now, humans cannot even imagine living without computers. In recent years, robots have been built based on cognitive architecture, which has been developed to model human cognitive ability. The cognitive architecture can be a basis for intelligence technology, to generate robot intelligence. In this Edition, robot intelligence is classified into the following seven categories: cognitive intelligence, social intelligence, behavioral intelligence, ambient intelligence, collective intelligence, genetic intelligence, and artificial intelligence. This classification categorizes the intelligence of robots based on the different aspects of awareness, and the ability to act deliberately as a result of such awareness. In the near future, robots will become an essential part of human life. To lead the future of robots, that is, the symbiosis between humans and robots, this Edition introduces the various intelligence technologies and applications. A limited number of papers selected from the accepted papers will be published in this Special Issue of the Machine Journal.
