About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to address the challenges of sensing, learning, and control problems in human-robot interaction. In the realm of sensing, we focus on recent advances in multiple sensing units, ranging from cameras and depth cameras to tactile sensors and force feedback mechanisms. These advancements enable robots to perceive the environment and human operators' actions with a level of detail and precision that was previously unattainable. Regarding robot learning, our emphasis will be on advanced learning methods and frameworks for robot actions and policies. We will also plan human-robot interaction strategies to enhance interaction within unstructured environments. Control systems serve as the bridge between sensing and learning, enabling robots to execute tasks with precision and safety. In this collection, our primary focus will be on the advanced control mechanisms in modern robots, which are capable of coordinating intricate movements and interactions in real-time.
The Research Topic will encompass a wide range of subjects, such as new sensor technology, intelligent perception, robot learning, safe human-robot interaction, advanced control, network control, and ethical considerations. The primary focus of this Research Topic is to delve into recent advancements in multidisciplinary technologies with practical applications and wide-reaching real-world implications. The scope is inclusive and extends to, but is not limited to, the following areas:
• Novel sensor and hardware design
