Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to participate in this Special Issue to share your latest findings in the field of automation and autonomous systems. Today, automation has become not only extremely useful, but even indispensable, in certain key areas, in all modern industrial areas. Sometimes, even intelligent automation is not enough, but it is needed to achieve a certain level of autonomy for industrial systems, giving them the ability to increase the quality of their work, the degree of safety offered, and the possibility of making decisions in real-time.
Those prepared for the future have the determination to face any situation, and will welcome change everywhere, while those who cannot tolerate change will bury their heads in the ground, believing wrongly that change will not happen if they choose not to see it. Machines, or robots, as they are often called today, are meant to help us in our work, ease our burdens, and work hard for us, so that we can all live better, more beautifully, and more freely. As they are man-made and progressive creations, they are not to be treated like slaves, but rather as a tool for bringing about a better future. Young people play an essential role here, even if society wants to marginalize them and teach them their old ways. Young people have a lot of energy, respond well to training, and have significant capability. They have high hopes and adapt more easily to the new. Young people know how to dream beautifully, and how to fulfill those dreams. Together with them, we will build a new, better, safer, more peaceful, and more modern society. Only then will robots be applicable for their ultimate humanitarian task and will help us conquer outer space in our attempt to expand into the universe.
