Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Prof. Dr. Marco Ceccarelli It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our open IFToMM Representative, LARM2: access journal, Robotics, which is dedicated to both the Laboratory of Robot foundations of artificial intelligence, bio-mechanics and Mechatronics, Department of Industrial Engineering, University mechatronics, and the real-world applications of robotic of Rome Tor Vergata, Via del perception, cognition and actions. The 21st century is the Politecnico 1, 00133 Roma, Italy robotics century and intelligent robots will change our lifestyle forever. Let us work together toward the realization of intelligent robots step by step.

It is great fun to create intelligent robots and imagine their practical applications. Robotics is now ready to serve you in the long journey towards such a goal.
