Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of the MESROB Workshop is to provide an international platform for researchers, engineers, and PhD students involved in the general field of medical and service robotics to exchange the latest research results and exchange views on future research directions in these areas. From the point of view of research and applications, medical and service robotics are enjoying a growing interest at the same time as the obvious growth of the market.
This Special Issue aims at exhibiting the latest research achievements, findings, and ideas in the areas of “Medical and Service Robotics”. The issue will contain, after a strict peer-review process, revised and extended versions of selected conference papers that were presented at the 9th IFToMM International Workshop on New Trends in Medical and Service Robotics (MESROB2025), with the objective of presenting cutting-edge contributions worthy of publication in an archival journal.
