Summary
Robotics is rapidly evolving as advances in Artificial Intelligence, vision systems, and cognitive modeling enable robots to perceive, interpret, and act in complex environments. Modern applications require robots not only to gather visual data but also to derive meaningful understanding and make context-aware decisions. This emerging integration of perception and cognition—"robotic thinking"—is essential for deploying intelligent systems in dynamic settings such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and service environments.
This Special Issue invites contributions that push the boundaries of robotic vision and cognitive intelligence. We seek studies that introduce innovative computational approaches, robust system architectures, or impactful applications that connect visual perception with reasoning, adaptability, and autonomous behavior. Works aligned with the journal's focus on modeling, simulation, and intelligent computation are especially welcome.
Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:
· Vision-guided robotic perception, object understanding, and scene interpretation
· Cognitive architectures, reasoning models, and decision-making for robotics
· 3D reconstruction, SLAM, and environmental mapping
· Human–robot interaction, gesture recognition, and behavioral prediction
· Digital twins, VR/AR, and immersive simulation environments for robotics
· Multimodal sensing, sensor fusion, and perceptual intelligence
· Autonomous navigation, manipulation, and planning in dynamic environments
Keywords
