Robotics and automation is the interdisciplinary field concerned with designing, building, and programming machines that can sense their environment, make decisions, and perform physical tasks with reduced or no human intervention. It draws on mechanical and electrical engineering for actuators and sensors, control theory for motion planning and stability, and artificial intelligence for perception, decision-making, and adaptive behavior. Key research areas include simultaneous localization and mapping for navigation, computer vision for object recognition and manipulation, human-robot interaction, swarm robotics, and reinforcement learning for control policies. Adoption of vision-language-action models in robotics reportedly tripled between 2025 and 2026 and is now present in roughly 40 percent of new robot deployments, reflecting rapid progress in perception and control research. Applications span industrial automation and manufacturing, autonomous vehicles and drones, agricultural robotics, warehouse logistics, and assistive and surgical robotics in healthcare. As an open-access robotics journal, IJACSA covers robotics and automation research spanning control algorithms, perception systems, and applied automation across industrial and service domains.
