From Industry 4.0 to Robotics 4.0 - A Conceptual Framework for Collaborative and Intelligent Robotic Systems

Abstract This work would like to re-visit the roles of collaborative and intelligent robotic system and its enabling technologies including ROS and ROS2, integrated drive system, robotic sensors, horizontal integration of a robotic network, human-robot friendly and natural interaction, and deep learnt robots. It is expected that in Robotics 4.0, intelligences including motion, computing, perception and cognition will be seamlessly integrated to meet the diversified industrial and societal needs. Roadmap and case studies will be given to demonstrate the current endeavour to achieve the idea of Robotics 4.0.
