Micro/nanotechnologies are keys crucial to improving system performance. This is why it is so important to research theory and applications based on analysis and synthesis from the micro- to the nanotechnology engineering level. Micro/nanorobotics are extremely important to the future of robotics and automation. Micro/nanotechnologies will certainly be applied in fields such as material science, industry, medicine, bioengineering, and services. Research on micro/nanoscale manipulation has thus attracted special attention in the robotics and mechatronics communities in the last decade. This special issue features selected papers focusing on cutting-edge topics and innovative applications based on new approaches in the fields of micro/nanorobotics. These papers were chosen from the 2001 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA2001) and important domestic conferences such as the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers(JSME) Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ROBOMEC). I would like, in closing this short introduction, to express my particular gratitude to the authors, who have updated their papers for this special issue, and to thank all of the contributors and reviewers who have made this vital publication possible. I also would like to thank Editor-in-Chief Prof. Makoto Kaneko of Hiroshima University, who provided the opportunity for editing this issue. I hope the papers contained herein will prove both interesting and useful to readers wanting to learn about the latest advances in micro/nanorobotics.

I am happy and honored to publish a special issue on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM) in the JACIII. The demand for the application of HNICEM is rapidly growing. We have received many papers focused in the fields of Manufacturing, Academe, and Business during the first international conference on HNICEM. This special issue includes 11 papers carefully and evenly selected from these fields. I strongly believed that the topics in this issue encompass technologies that will play a significant role in the development of HNICEM. I am very grateful to Prof. Toshio Fukuda and Prof. Kaoru Hirota, the Chief editors of JACIII for inviting me as Guest editor in this Journal. I would like to express my warmest thanks and gratitude to the distinguished authors that have contributed to this special issue, for their outstanding contributions and cooperation. I am hoping that the JACIII will continually provide papers regarding progress of new technologies particularly in the fields of HNICEM.

This special issue has been proposed in honor of the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics that has been authorized to be the International Journal of the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers since 1999. The 2000 JSME Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ROBOMEC’00) was held in Kumamoto, May 11-13, 2000, sponsored by the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The purpose of the conference was to aid future establishments of new industries by using advanced technologies of Robotics and Mechatronics. In the technical sessions, 82 organized sessions were held and a total of 653 papers were presented. 969 participants attended the conference. This special issue has been organized by editing the papers presented at ROBOMEC’00 to widely distribute the significant results of the conference. High quality papers of the conference were invited to this journal and were reviewed again by the referees of this journal. Finally, 14 papers were selected for publication in the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics Special Issue on Selected Papers from ROBOMEC’00 (Vol. 13, No. 2). We would like to thank the authors in this special issue who have contributed their updated papers. Also, we would express our gratitude to contributed their updated papers. Also, we would express our gratitude to Editor in Chief, Prof. Makoto Kaneko (Hiroshima University) whose work has been indispensable in organizing this special issue and the Editors for providing the selection of the papers.

The twenty-first century is witnessing huge transformation with the help of management and technology innovation. The journal Ingenería Solidaria, subtitled as Journal of Engineering and Education provided us with the opportunity to summon quality research manuscripts on the domain of engineering and management and to compile a special issue.  We published the call for papers at icitkm-2017, the First International Conference on Information Technology And Knowledge Management, organized by Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, University of Delhi, India, held on December 22-23rd 2017.We received more than 35 manuscripts through the open call for papers as well as extended versions of manuscripts presented at icitkm-2017. After reviewing and screening, eight interesting articles were selected for this special, volume no 14, number 25 of the Journal. We are sure the issue will provide up-to-date discussions and support for readers and researchers in their domains.
