Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

There have been more and more notable developments relating to robotics in many applications, such as minimally invasive surgery, computer-aided manufacturing, and unmanned vehicles, especially with industry 4.0 digital transformation. Autonomous systems will further progress with the development of Artificial Intelligence. Intelligent computing solutions are suitable for a growing number of real-world applications. Meanwhile, computer networks have been covering more areas of our daily life, especially with 4G, 5G and 6G wireless network solutions. The data collection, communication and storage capabilities of communication systems are progressively improving. However, existing robotic and networking techniques are still facing great challenges, from the interpretation of intelligence to security. Therefore, this Topic is looking for high-quality, original research articles that advance the fields of robotics and networks towards more secure, intelligent, capable, autonomous, communicating systems.
