It is our pleasure to announce a new call for papers for the second special
issue of Journal of Robotics in year 2011. The call for papers on cognitive and
neural sciences related to robotic systems appeared to be a successful
challenge.
Robotics has been widely applied for various fields such as automation and other
control and engineering systems. Recent developments of humanoid and human-like
robots are a milestone in the field of robotics, and they can be a platform for
breaking new ground of robotics applications for human-friendly medical and
welfare systems. Cognitive and learning aspects for such robots are, however,
still underdeveloped compared to highly controlled mechanisms of recent robotic
systems.
Similarly to the previous call of CNAR, the main challenges of this new call for
the special issue are the cognitive aspects of robotics, especially the neural
and fuzzy basis of human intelligence and the fundamental model of human
cognitive and motor functions from the brain sciences point of view. We welcome
papers focused on special and newest hardware and biocomputing implementations
that enhance cognitive capabilities in the field of robotics.
We invite authors to present original research articles as well as review
articles that will cross-fertilize the fields of cognitive sciences and
robotics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
-- Cognitive aspects of robotics
-- Neural network and fuzzy basis for robotic intelligence
-- Current applications and future prospects of cognitive sciences for robotics
-- Human–robot perceptions and interactions
-- Biocomputing for cognitive computation for robotics
-- New algorithms of computational intelligence for robotics
-- New hardware implementations of cognitive algorithms in robotics
-- Robotics for assisting physical and mental disability
-- Cognitive algorithms in robotics to support biomedical applications
