The rapid development of mobile robotic systems has found tremendous applications in many fields, including domestic services, industrial applications, medical assistance, military applications, and human-robot interactions. Mobile robots incorporate different features and approaches to function in an unknown environment through a combination of locomotion with/without manipulation, perception, cognition, localization, and navigation operations. Advanced mobile robotics are now key technologies in aerospace, scientific exploration, security, disaster relief, etc. In the field of mobile robotics, novel methods of mechanism design, structure optimization, kinematic and dynamic modeling, motion planning and control have been mainstream topics involved in improving a robots' working performance in complicated environments.
This Research Topic focuses on the design and control of mobile robots, including but not limited to ground, underwater, flying robotics and swarm mobile robots. These types of robots can also be equipped with manipulators to conduct some operations.
As part of this objective, we will present the latest advances and challenges in mobile robotic systems, such as mechanism design, structure optimization, kinematic and dynamic control, motion planning and autonomous control.
This Research Topic welcomes both original research papers as well as review articles on the theory, design, optimization, teleoperation, and control of mobile robots. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Bio-inspired mobile robots, including ground/underwater/flying robots
• Swarm mobile robots and the integration of mobile robots with Internet of Things (IoT)
• Architecture of mobile robotic and intelligent systems
• Mechanism design and structure optimization of mobile robots
• Manufacture of mobile robotic systems using 3D printing and other low-cost sources
• Kinematic and dynamic modeling of mobile robots
• Dexterous manipulation of mobile manipulator systems
• Artificial intelligence and other methods for motion control and motion planning of autonomous unmanned robots
• Task planning, path planning and trajectory generation of mobile robots
• Teleoperation, haptic feedback, and control of mobile robots with consideration of machine learning
• User-centric design of mobile robots for human–robot interaction, including user experience and the overall integration of mobile robots into human environments
Keywords:
mobile robotic systems, autonomous unmanned robots, mechanism design, structure optimization, kinematic and dynamic modeling, motion planning and control, human-robot interaction
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
