EditorialIntroduction to the Special Section on Engineering Innovations in Robotics and Applications
Introduction
Robotics is one of the main research focus of this time in academia and industry. It has been included in the different functioning of our daily life. Even sometimes we don't notice about many autonomous systems as we are used to of them. As technology advances, existing systems seems slow and inadequate. New algorithms or designs required to bring these systems up to the user expectations and making them efficient. The industry is focusing more on automation to increase productivity and placing robots would be efficient as well as cost effective in long run.
Advancements in robotic systems will bring change is industry work culture as well as it will impact the way human work in normal life. This Special issue is in continuation of our Robotics research series publication. The first issue [1] was focused on “future trends in robotics and autonomous techniques”, where this issue collects research works on engineering innovations in robotics area. This issue covers different aspects in robotics from PSO to hardware design, Obstacle avoidance to tele-operations, linear and parallel optimization, and from remotely robot control to mobile robot applications.
