Robotics and Intelligent Systems: New Mathematical Challenges and Algorithmic Innovations
Dear Colleagues,
In the current era, we are witnessing the transition from mastering automation toward achieving autonomy. The mastery of automation has a foundation rooted in the mathematical theories underlying the control of dynamical systems. Certainly, the achievement of autonomy depends on whether we will be able to build solid mathematical principles underlying the design of artificial intelligence or artificial minds inside the advanced robots of the future.
This Special Issue seeks papers within its scope, which encompasses the new mathematical challenges and algorithmic innovations faced by intelligent robots that can autonomously undertake various tasks in a real environment in real time. Among these challenges, the biggest one is discovering the mathematical principles underlying the pipeline of transformations from visual sensory signals to visual knowledge (i.e., geometry, topology, kinematics, and dynamics), from existing knowledge about the physical space to new knowledge about the same physical space, and from the knowledge about tasks to be performed in a real environment to motor signals which can be performed by a robot’s body or mechanism.
If your research can contribute partially to the above areas of study, please indicate your interest to me as soon as possible. Among the potential contributors, five of them will be granted the full waiver of publication/processing fees. I hope that you will be among these five authors in this exciting Special Issue.
