Summary

Robotics is experiencing rapid growth, and the integration of machine learning (ML) is driving significant advancements in perception, decision-making, control, and autonomy. This special issue aims to present the latest research, applications, and emerging trends in ML for robotics and intelligent robotic assistance, spanning foundational algorithms to real-world implementations. We seek original research articles and review papers that demonstrate how ML techniques can enhance robotic and human-robotic systems in complex and dynamic environments.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• ML for robot perception, environment modeling, and sensor fusion
• Deep learning, reinforcement learning, and transfer learning for autonomous navigation and control
• Federated and distributed learning in multi-robot systems
• Human–robot interaction and collaborative learning
• Applications in smart manufacturing, service robots, autonomous vehicles and ML-assisted driving, and medical robotics
• Explainable, reliable, and safe ML-driven robotic systems
