Integration of artificial intelligence in robotic vehicles: A bibliometric analysis

摘要

Abstract Robots are rapidly growing technologies in simple words. Robots are artificial living things in this world that are created by humans for reducing human involvement in the top domains such as agriculture, medicine, and industries. Based on the requirements of work, robots are classified into six major categories. Robotic vehicles come under the division of autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles. These vehicles are more popular in factories for supporting humans. Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in a robotic vehicle gives the brain to the vehicle that can sense the surrounding environment and work accordingly without human operation. This article describes bibliometric research on the integration of AI in robotic vehicles. During the research, 1,196 documents are extracted from the Scopus database between 2015 till now. The types of publications included in this bibliometric analysis are articles, conference papers, reviews, book chapters, books, and short surveys that help understand the global research domain. The pictorial representation was made with the help of open-source platforms such as VOSviewer, GPS visualizer, Gephi, ScienceScape, and word cloud. This analysis helps understand the research gap in this domain.
