It is our pleasure to announce a new call for papers for the third special
issue on cognitive and neural aspects of robotics with applications for the
Journal of Robotics. The call for papers on cognitive and neural sciences
related to robotic systems was 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.
Like the previous calls for papers of CNAR, the main challenges of this new
call for papers for the special issue are 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 research papers focused on special and
newest hardware and biocomputing implementations that enhance cognitive
capabilities in the field of robotics.
We invite authors to submit 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
Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's author
guidelines, which are located at
