Focused on autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems, this special issue aims to present a unique source with a theme of autonomy research associated with military commissions, homeland security and scientific explorations. The objective of the special issue is to promote emerging technologies, up-to-date achievements and pioneer techniques in the sector of design and control of intelligent robotic platforms with superior mobility and functionality.
Topics of interest including but not confined to the following technical areas:
- Autonomous operating systems for mobile robotic platforms
- Sensor-based situation awareness and dynamic route planning algorithms
- Modelling and control of UGV systems in virtual environment
- Environmental impacts on the performance of UGV systems
- Modelling and simulation of UGV-terrain interactions
- Mobility and survivability of UGV over certain/uncertain terrains
- Dynamic analysis and performance evaluation of UGV systems
- Steering control and stability analysis of UGV systems
- UGV subsystems, including powertrain, chassis, mechatronics, etc.
- Dynamic communication/interaction between UGV subsystems
- UGV system state estimation and configuration optimization
- Tools/methodologies for integrating, testing and prototyping UGV systems
