In recent years, rapid technological advancements in computers, artificial intelligence, and microelectronics have led to an increased use of robots in various fields such as commerce, healthcare, industry, and national defense. In particular, the rapid deployment of artificial intelligence algorithms and computing technology has enabled robots to exhibit a certain level of intelligence in specific scenarios. The most typical examples are dialogue interaction robots, such as Pepper from Japan’s SoftBank [1], and floor-sweeping robots [2]. It is evident that robotic technology and products will play a significantly important role in our lives and environment in the future, eventually becoming an integral part of our lives and even coexisting with us. In the field of industry, the emergence of human-machine collaborative robots [3] and swarm robots [4] has gradually changed the existing industrial manufacturing mode, leading to significant improvements in efficiency and flexibility. In terms of national defense, robotic technology is becoming the development direction of future weapons, especially in unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned underwater combat vessels, and unmanned combat aircraft. In summary, the level of robotic technology reflects the overall scientific and technological level of a country to a certain extent. Robotics is “the pearl at the top of the crown of manufacturing,” with its research, development, manufacture, and application serving as critical indicators of a country’s scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing proficiency. Consequently, various notions have introduced relevant policies and plans for robotics, such as the “EU Robotics 2020” [5], the US DARPA Plan, and the “New Robotics Strategy” in Japan [6]. China has also outlined a series of plans for robotics in scientific research and policies, such as the National Medium- and Long-Term Plan for Science and Technology Development (2006–2020), which proposes the development of industrial robots and specialized operation robots through advanced applicable technologies and aims to promote the industrialization of robotic science and technology. It also calls for the development of modular robotic units and the enhancement of the international competitiveness of China’s intelligent manufacturing industry. With a focus on this, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the “12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing Science and Technology” in April 2012, which calls for tackling the core common technologies of industrial robots, independently developing industrial robot engineering products, and achieving technological breakthroughs and industrialization of industrial robots and their core components. Therefore, research on the fundamental theories and technologies related to robotics is of great significance in promoting the advancement of the social economy.
