Scope:
There is a growing trend in autonomous robotics research, driven by advances in machine learning, computer vision, and the expansion of robotics into new domains such as medicine, healthcare, agriculture, and transportation. Core AI concepts are now integral to subfields like navigation, control, motion planning, manipulation, and environment perception, making this an exciting era for the robotics community.
As technology accelerates, industries seek to reduce manual labor by adopting intelligent, autonomous robots powered by novel AI methods. Two key foundations of such systems are reasoning and learning - reasoning involves processing sensory data and knowledge to achieve goals, while learning enables faster and more accurate decisions based on experience. When combined, these paradigms create flexible and adaptive robotic solutions.
The RTA section serves as a platform for professionals, researchers, and students to share insights and discuss the latest developments in intelligent and autonomous robotics and their applications across diverse fields.
