We are embarking on a new chapter in our lives, emerging from the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. While this global crisis has presented unprecedented challenges, it has also accelerated the transformation of our daily routines into what is often referred to as "The New Normal." While the term has been widely used, there remains a lack of consensus regarding its precise definition and ideal characteristics. Nevertheless, one undeniable aspect is the pivotal role played by robotics and artificial intelligence technologies in shaping this transformative phase.

In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of a multitude of innovative applications that leverage these technologies. From last-mile delivery robots navigating urban streets to AI-embedded service robots serving customers in restaurants, shops, and medical facilities, the possibilities are endless. Uninhabited spaces have also been transformed, with AI-powered service robots attending conferences and talks in metaverses, while online education programs have been revolutionized by AI-based platforms.

This book serves as a timely compilation of the latest advancements in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. Drawing from a selection of papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA), held at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia, this edition aims to provide valuable insights to researchers and practitioners alike.

The conference, held in a hybrid format from December 7 to 9, 2022, with the theme "Artificial, Agile, Acute Robot Intelligence," brought together experts from around the world to explore the frontiers of robotic and AI technology. The conference featured a diverse range of papers, covering topics such as motion planning and control, vision and image processing, unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous vehicles, learning and classification, and environmental and societal robotic applications.

A rigorous peer-review process was employed to select the papers that were included in this book. The selected articles underwent extensive revisions and updates, ensuring that they represent the most current and cutting-edge research in the field. The final versions of the manuscripts were meticulously reviewed and edited to enhance their readability and clarity.

The chapters of this book are organized in a logical and coherent manner, allowing readers to easily navigate the wealth of information presented. Chapter I: Motion Planning and Control explores the fundamental principles and algorithms for designing and controlling robotic systems. Chapter II: Vision and Image Processing delves into the techniques and technologies used to interpret and analyze visual data, enabling robots to perceive and understand their environment. Chapter III: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles explores the use of drones and autonomous vehicles for various applications, including surveillance, transportation, and delivery. Chapter IV: Learning and Classification explores the methods and algorithms used for machine learning and pattern recognition, enabling robots to learn from data and make intelligent decisions. Chapter V: Environmental and Societal Robotic Applications focuses on the applications of robotics and AI in addressing social and environmental challenges, such as healthcare, agriculture, and disaster response.

In conclusion, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
