Abstract

With the advent of new frontiers in robotics, the spectrum of robot research area has widened in many fields and applications. Other than conventional robot research, many technologies such as smart devices, drones, healthcare robots, and soft robots are emerging as promising applications. Due to the research complexity of this topic, this research requires international collaboration and should be fertilized by R&D policies. This paper aims to propose a method to perform a cross-national analysis of robot research with unstructured data such as papers in the proceedings of an international conference. Text analytics are applied to extract research issues and applications in an automatic manner.
