The recent digital revolution led robots to become integrated more than ever into different
domains such as agricultural, medical, industrial, military, police (law enforcement), and …

Collaborative robots (cobots) are robots that are designed to collaborate with humans in an
open workspace. In contrast to industrial robots in an enclosed environment, cobots need …

In the era of industrialization and automation, safety is a critical factor that should be
considered during the design and realization of each new system that targets operation in …

In this paper, a fixed-time safe control problem is investigated for an uncertain high-order
nonlinear pure-feedback system with state constraints. A new nonlinear transformation …

Autonomous robotic systems are complex, hybrid, and often safety critical; this makes their
formal specification and verification uniquely challenging. Though commonly used, testing …

The rapid development of robotic technology makes transforming from manual activities to
human–robot collaboration (HRC) possible in construction. An HRC system can improve …

Background. An increasing global population means resource utilisation and food security
remain the critical global challenges. Robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) have been …

Collaborative robotics is an umbrella term that conveys the general idea of proximity
between machines and humans for some useful tasks in a shared space, with a range of …

Stereotypes, bias, and discrimination have been extensively documented in Machine
Learning (ML) methods such as Computer Vision (CV)[18, 80], Natural Language …

The emerging of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0 (I4. 0), from the
advancement in several technologies is viewed not only to promote economic growth, but …
