While the current society is information centric, the future will be knowledge centric, not performed by humans, but by machines to deliver the outcomes. The challenge here is how to design, structure, deliver, share and make use of the large amounts of data and knowledge generated by both human and machines, to effectively and productively deliver the outcome to the benefit of mankind. However, given the dynamic nature of semantic web, new information and therefore, knowledge is constantly evolving, the concept of encyclopedia will inadvertently need to evolve to keep pace with the development and revised to meet these challenges.

World Scientific Encyclopedia with Semantic Computing and Robotic Intelligence incorporates the recent technological advances in semantic computing and robotic intelligence, which aims to develop a new model of encyclopedia that publish quality and dynamic knowledge both online (http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/escri), and in print to both professionals and laymen the state-of-the-art report on how and why machines are able to undertake many of our tasks; not only physically, but also mentally to perceive, recognize, reason to formulate solution, as well as to learn from experience, to improve so as to perform the tasks better than ever before and evolve.

World Scientific Encyclopedia with Semantic Computing and Robotic Intelligence will be published in multiple volumes on multiple subjects, both online and off-line.
