Special Issue on Soft Computing Applications to Mobile Robots


Intelligent Automation and Soft Computing, An International Journal
invites papers for a Special Issue on Soft Computing Applications to
Mobile Robots. Original papers are solicited for this special issue
that present research results, case studies, and applications of soft
computing techniques to address challenges of mobile robotics. Because
the development of precise models for mobile robots and their
environments can be extremely difficult and computationally expensive,
soft computing techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic
algorithms, hybrid intelligent systems, and others have emerged in
mobile robotics. Soft computing methods allow for imprecision and
uncertainty and can therefore be used to study, model, analyze, and
control mobile robots.


Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited
to:

* Distributed mobile robots
* Mobile robot interactions with humans
* Mobile robots for hazardous environments
* Humanoid mobile robots
* Reconfigurable computing of mobile robots
* Control systems of mobile robots
* Object detection and recognition
* Localization and mapping
* Path planning and decision making
* Locomotion and navigation of mobile robots
