Autonomous Robots for Medical and Social Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence and robotics are leading the digital transformation of our society in a wide range of application areas. AI will enable the design of a new generation of robots for autonomous applications in medical and social applications, with a new type of intelligence, the robotic intelligence that develops specific skills and methods for application in robotic systems, aiming to affect the medical world and support social activities. Robots with integrated AI can communicate across connected object systems in real time. We invite authors from both industry and academia to submit original research and review articles that cover the design, implementation, and validation of autonomous robots for medical and social applications.
