Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) highlights the implementation of automation and digitization across industry domains. The Fifth Industrial Revolution (Industry 5.0) will maximize human and technological strengths, making human–machine collaboration more harmonious.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality scientific papers of recent advances and applications related to automation and digitization in industry domains. Papers on not only Industry 4.0 but also Industry 5.0 are welcome. We encourage researchers from different fields within the journal’s scope to contribute with the latest developments in their research field and/or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning;
- Internet of Things and Sensors;
- Edge computing and cloud services;
- Control and systems engineering;
- Modeling and simulation;
- Human-centered automation;
- Process automation and control;
- Robotics and machine automation;
- Digital twins;
- Cyberphysical systems;
