Advances in Robot Vision Perception and Control Technology

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, the robotics industry has witnessed incredible growth. The robotics market, in particular, the autonomous robots market, will continue to expand at remarkable speed. Unlike traditional robotic manipulators, which perform labor-intensive tasks in structured factory settings, modern robots are required to work alongside human beings. In order to succeed in these uncontrolled settings, modern robots must have the ability to understand the surrounding environment and control their actions without continuous human intervention. In other words, robotic perception and control play a vital role for autonomous robots in unstructured human environments. Similar to human eyes, cameras provide a robot with abundant information, allowing the robot to understand its location, detect obstacles, find objects of interest, etc. While promising, robot vision perception and control are underexplored topics, and there remain numerous technical challenges to address. The following Topic provides researchers with a platform to share their research insights on the theoretical analysis and applications of robot vision in practical experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Visual SLAM
• Visual odometry
• Visual serving
• Visual tracking
• Vision-based object detection
• Machine learning techniques with application to robot vision
• Vision-based obstacle avoidance
• Vision-based robotic manipulation
• Computer vision with application to robotics

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
