IJCAS

This special issue is dedicated to the papers that are extended from those originally submitted to the 38th ICROS Annual Conference (ICROS 2023), held in Sol Beach Hotel & Resort, Gangwon, Korea, from June 21 to 23, 2023. The objective is to establish a connection between the conference and IJCAS so that strong results from the annual conference can be published in IJCAS in a timely manner. Prof. Hyo-Sung Ahn, the Editor-in-Chief of IJCAS brought this idea to the organizing committee of ICROS.
Motivated by Prof. Ahn’s idea, the organizing committee developed detailed guidelines. Call for paper for this special issue was announced in April 2023 and the interested authors are asked to contact the guest editor before the submission deadline to the conference. The authors are informed that their papers will undergo the standard review process of IJCAS and that they have four weeks to prepare the revision. The guest editors received 20 applications, and 15 papers have been received before the conference took place. The papers were handled by three associate editors who committed to make the review process fast without sacrificing the high standard of the journal. At the end of review process, the following seven papers were chosen for publication:
1. “Compensated Motion and Position Estimation of a Cable-driven Parallel Robot Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning” by Huaishu Chen, Min-Cheol Kim, Yeongoh Ko, and Chang-Sei Kim*.
2. “Design of Humanoid Robot Foot to Absorb Ground Reaction Force by Mimicking Longitudinal Arch and Transverse Arch of Human Foot” by Jindeok Lee and Hyun-Min Joe*.
3. “Enhancing Low-light Images for Monocular Visual Odometry in Challenging Lighting Conditions” by Donggil You, Jihoon Jung, and Junghyun Oh*.
4. “Safe Trajectory Path Planning Algorithm Based on RRT* While Maintaining Moderate Margin From Obstacles” by Subin Lim and Sangrok Jin*.
5. “Connection Loss Detection Algorithm of Parallel-connected Cells Based on Change of Battery SOC” by Byeonggwan Jang, Hyoseo Choi, Wooyong Kim*, and Kyung-Soo Kim*.
6. “A Current Sensor Fault-detecting Method for Onboard Battery Management Systems of Electric Vehicles Based on Disturbance Observer and Normalized Residuals” by Wooyong Kim, Kunwoo Na, and Kyunghwan Choi*.
7. “Design and Verification of Early Unstable Stage Control Scheme for High-speed Underwater Launched AUV” by Chul Hyun.
The guest editors would like to recommend that the editorial board of IJCAS continues to offer authors the opportunity for increased exposure by linking the upcoming annual conferences of ICROS with IJCAS.
