Special Issue Information
Robots are now used not only in operating rooms, but also in clinical settings to support healthcare workers and enhance patient care. Robots are currently being used for delivery, housekeeping and transportation in nursing homes.
Robots have the potential to address healthcare worker shortages. Health robotics will evolve alongside advancements in machine learning, data analytics, computer vision, and other technologies. Robots of all types will continue to evolve to complete tasks autonomously, efficiently, and accurately.
We would also like to take this opportunity to call on more scholars to join this Special Issue so that we can work together to further develop this exciting field of research. Concept papers and design papers are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Humanoid robots;
Wearable sensors;
Spatial sensors;
Human–robot interaction;
Rehabilitation robots;
Robotic manipulators;
Robots in rehabilitation;
Robot acceptance;
Robot navigation;
Exoskeletons.
