Preface

Today’s digital lifestyle is born from the revolutions of personal computer (PC) and Internet. Moving forward, it seems inevitable that robots will find their ways into our daily lives, integrating seamlessly into the fields of manufacturing, construction, household duties, services, medical operations, health care, etc. A new era of Industry 4.0 is coming, and robots will play significant roles in the new waves of technological revolutions. Unfortunately, most of the existing robot technologies are designed for traditional industrial applications for which the robots operate behind safeguarding and for predefined routine tasks, and thus are not able to perform varying tasks in unknown, complex,
