Special issue on Mobile Manipulation
A special issue of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine
Introduction
IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine (RAM) seeks articles for a special issue on Mobile Manipulation, scheduled for publication in June 2012. The ultimate goal of Autonomous Mobile Manipulation is the execution of complex manipulation tasks in unstructured and dynamic environments, where cooperation with humans may be required. To achieve this goal, several scientific and engineering challenges, currently beyond the state of the art in robotics, must be addressed including generality, uncertainty, high dimensionality, and the complexity of system hardware.
Scope, description and more information
The scope of this special issue encompasses papers that address one or more of the aforementioned challenges of mobile manipulation.
Scope
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Towards fast, predictable, and optimal manipulation planning
• Representing dynamic and cluttered worlds
• Forceful interaction with the physical world
• Human-robot interaction
• Novel hardware and system integration
• Benchmarks for mobile manipulation
• Modeling for manipulation and grasping
• Learning grasping and Manipulation skills
