  *CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS*****

*Proposal Submission Deadline: Oct 30, 2013*****

*Robotics, Automation and Control in Industrial and Service Settings*****

A book edited by Dr. Zongwei Luo****

(University of Hong Kong, China)****

** **

To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/15TBQvk****

For release in the Advances in Civil and Industrial Engineering (ACIE) Book
Series<http://www.igi-global.com/book-series/advances-civil-industrial-engineering/73673>
****

** **

The *Advances in Civil and Industrial Engineering (ACIE) Book Series* aims
to present research and methodology that will provide solutions and
discussions to meet such needs. The latest methodologies, applications,
tools, and analysis will be published through the books included in *ACIE *in
order to keep the available research in civil and industrial engineering as
current and timely as possible.****

*Introduction*****

Vision for robotics, automation, and control in industrial and service
settings has been driven by fast advances in information technology (e.g.,
RFID, sensors, Internet of Things, and the Cloud). A smarter world vision
supported by ubiquitous interconnection and intelligence has generated
considerable interest and demand for the next generation of robotics,
automation, and control technologies and their applications towards
enabling smart manufacturing and human-centric services. ****

** **

*Objective of the Book*****

This book will provide a forum of innovative findings in advanced robotics,
automation, and control research and development. It aims to promote an
international knowledge exchange community involving multidisciplinary
participation from researchers, practitioners, and academicians with
insight addressing real life issues and problems toward smarter
manufacturing and human-centric services. By disseminating the latest
developments in robotics, automation, and control innovation and
transformation upon current and/or emerging technology opportunities and
market imperatives, this book covers both theoretical perspectives and
practical approaches for smart manufacturing and human-centric service
research and development.****
