Robotic Intelligence

This volume aims to provide a reference to the development of robotic intelligence, built upon Semantic Computing, in terms of 'action' to realize the 'context' and 'intention' formulated by Semantics Computing during the 'thinking' or reasoning process. It addresses three core areas:
