Special Issues

Special Issue on Intelligent Vision-Driven Robotics Submission Date: 2026-07-31 Special Issue Editors Dr. Peng Zhou, Great Bay University, China Prof. David Navarro-Alarcon, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China About This Special Issue Aims and Motivation Robotics is converging on an intelligent, vision-driven paradigm where precise geometry, robust control, and data-driven adaptation co-exist and reinforce one another. Prof. Liu’s oeuvre exemplifies this synthesis—from early uncalibrated visual servoing and grasp theory to modern soft/surgical autonomy and large-scale SLAM—providing a unifying backbone for next-generation robots that are safe, dexterous, and reliable in unstructured, visually complex environments. This invitation-only Special Issue honors Prof. Yunhui Liu’s enduring impact on intelligent, vision-driven robotics. His work—spanning uncalibrated visual servoing, grasping and fixturing theory, motion planning, soft and continuum manipulation, surgical robotics, large-scale SLAM and 3D vision, networked teleoperation, and learning-enabled autonomy—has consistently connected rigorous theory with deployable, closed-loop systems, closing the loop between sensing and action in real-world environments. The collection is authored by Prof. Liu’s friends, former students, and close collaborators, and reflects his profound influence on vision-centered robotic intelligence. Submission Policy Invitation-first. This Special Issue is primarily invitation-based; invited manuscripts will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Inquiries welcome. If you haven’t received an invitation but believe your work is a strong fit for vision-driven robotics, you’re welcome to email the Guest Editors with a brief summary. Depending on space and scope, we may be able to extend additional invitations. Authors are encouraged to add a brief note on the relationship between your submission and Prof. Liu's academic work—e.g., which ideas, methods, or perspectives served as motivation or inspiration—consistent with the article type. Scope and Themes We welcome contributions that tightly integrate visual perception (including 3D geometry) with control and learning to achieve robust, generalizable, and deployable autonomy. Visual servoing and perception-driven control: Uncalibrated/model-free schemes; eye-in-hand and fixed-camera control; observers without visual velocity; nonholonomic/mobile visual control; task-oriented and invariant visual features. Grasping, fixturing, and dexterous manipulation:Vision- and tactility-informed grasp analysis and fixture design; multimodal sensing; soft/variable-stiffness hands; compliant/origami-inspired grippers; in-hand and textile/cable manipulation with visual feedback; geometry-aware policies. Deformable, soft, and continuum robots: Visual/FBG-based shape sensing and reconstruction; deformation and shape servoing; constrained-environment modeling and control; hybrid model–data methods for perception–control fusion. Surgical robotics and medical applications: Vision-centric autonomy in MRI/OR-integrated systems; autonomous endoscopic view control; instrument/tissue perception and 3D reconstruction (stereo/NeRF/Gaussian splatting); integrated perception–planning–control for safe task autonomy. SLAM, 3D vision, and geometric learning: Point/line/vanishing-point geometry; LiDAR/visual–inertial/edge-based SLAM; transparent/reflective/medical surface reconstruction; calibration and metrology; neural and geometric scene representations for control. Networked and human-in-the-loop robotics: Internet-based teleoperation with haptics and QoS; cooperative teleoperation; AR/gaze-based interaction; shared autonomy with intent inference; distributed estimation and coordination for multi-robot systems. Learning for vision-driven autonomy: Self-/weakly supervised visual representations for video and 3D; RL and imitation for manipulation, surgery, and locomotion with visual feedback; sim-to-real transfer; transformer/graph models coupling perception with planning and control; grounding policies in geometric priors. Field and industrial robotics: Vision-centric construction and finishing; warehouse fleets and swarm logistics; autonomous forklifts/AGVs and tractor–trailer control; robust bin picking and assembly with multi-view/active perception; long-horizon, closed-loop deployments. Article Types Original research articles with strong theoretical and experimental validation (bench-top to clinical/field), emphasizing vision-in-the-loop autonomy. System and integration papers demonstrating deployable, vision-driven, closed-loop performance in real applications. Survey/tutorial papers synthesizing state of the art at the intersection of vision, learning, and control, with clear roadmaps for future research. Benchmark/dataset papers that enable reproducibility and accelerate vision-based robotics, including protocols, metrics, code, and models. Intended Audience Researchers and practitioners in robotics, computer vision, control, and AI/ML for robotics; surgical/medical robotics; industrial and field automation; and human–robot interaction and teleoperation. Dedication It is an unforgettable memory and a great pleasure for many of us to have collaborated with Prof. Yunhui Liu—and, for some, to have worked under his mentorship. In deepest respect for his strong and inquiring mind, his enthusiasm for scientific inquiry, and his passion for education, we dedicate this Special Issue to him.
