To achieve this generalized application of robots, researchers have endeavoured to study a wide variety of methods and algorithms in order to properly employ robotic systems in many real-life scenarios. At present, many types of robotic platforms are being employed in various applications, e.g., dual-arm robots, parallel robots, mobile robots, humanoid robots, aerial robots, underwater robots, and micro/nano robots. Moreover, some theoretical tools are specially being used to obtain correct robot performance, e.g., machine learning, artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, and control and planning theory. The purpose of this reprint is to exhibit the current state of robotic applications. In particular, in addition to introducing novel theories and methods, this reprint is particularly focused on the application of robotic systems in real-life situations. Thus, the presentation of experimental results makes evident the feasibility and usefulness of robotic systems in practical cases. Obviously, this reprint does not intend to exhaustively demonstrate all the current existing robotic applications but rather give an overview of them, revealing the high level of activity in this area. This reprint contains an Editorial, together with 30 contributions in total from countries all around the world, addressing a broad range of robotic applications.Computer sciencebicsscInformation technology industriesbicssc2D-information-based approach3D reconstruction3D-information-based approach6D pose estimationacousticagricultureAGVAMRassembly taskattitude observeraugmented realityautomated parking systemautonomous loading systemautonomous navigationautonomous vehiclebackground clutterbackpropagationball recognitionbio-inspired designbipedal robotbird songcalibration uncertaintycase reportcharuco cuboidclean mirrorcollaborative robotscompliance controlcomputer visioncontrolcontrol algorithmcontroller detectioncooperative robotscoordinationda Vinci Research Kitdeep learningdeep neural networksdetection technologiesdevicedual-armdusted mirrorecoacousticselectro opticalelevation angleface alignmentface detectionface recognitionface trackingfield of view redirectionfield roboticsflapping-wing micro air vehicleFloyd algorithmfoot placement estimationforeground occlusionformationfuzzy comprehension evaluationGloreha Sinfoniagray box modelhand rehabilitationHARKhealthcare robotshigh-speed object manipulationhuman-operated vehiclehuman-robot collaborationhuman-robot interactionhumanoid and bipedal locomotionhybrid fusionindustrial robotsintelligent robotsinteractive systemsinverse kinematicsion channel Kv10.1IoTkey technologyKITTIlearning-based approachlegged robotslidarLIPMlongitudinal modemachine learning in roboticsmanipulabilitymanipulator motion planningmanual guidancemathematical modelingmining automationmobile robotmodel refinementmodel-based designMOTMOT15MOT16MOT17MOTChallengesmotion controlmotion coordinationmultiple object trackingn/ananoelectromechanical system (NEMS)nanorobotsnonprehensile manipulationonboard sensorsoptimization methodspart probingpassive redirectionpassive walkerpassive walkingpath planningpath trackingpediatric strokepeg-in-holeperson identificationpose estimationprismpure pursuit controllerquality of task executionradarradio frequency-based (RF)robot auditionrobot calibrationrobot kidnapping detectionrobot remasteringrobot systemrobot teleoperationrobot-as-a-servicerobot-assisted laparoscopic surgeryrobotic assemblyrobotic battingroboticsself-drivingsensor feedbackservice robotssimulationsit-to-standSLAMsliding mode controllersmart citiessound source localizationsoundscapestochastic plannersurgical robotsymmetrysystem identificationtextureless and reflective objectstime-of-flighttopological mappingtrajectory estimationtrajectory trackingUA_DETRACuncertainty reductionUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)upper limbusabilityuser preferencesuser studiesweighted least squareComputer scienceInformation technology industriesBOOK9910743281203321Trends and Challenges in Robotic Applications3560330UNINA
