This book presents essentially a collection of proceedings that deliberate on the key challenges and recent trends on robotics, automation and data analytics which are the pillars of Industry 4.0. Solutions that are employed in the multitude spectra of innovative robotics & automation and data analytics are discussed. The readers are expected to gain an insightful view on the current trends, issues, mitigating factors as well as solutions from the book. This book consists of selected papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Innovative Technology, Engineering and Sciences 2020 (iCITES) hosted virtually by Universiti Malaysia Pahang on 22nd December 2020. iCITES is a biennial conference, aimed at building a platform that allows relevant stakeholders to share and discuss their latest researches, ideas and survey reports from theoretical to a practical standpoint especially in the Innovative Robotics & Automation and Data Analytics tracks which was published in this book.

Cancer is the leading cause of mortality in most, if not all, countries around the globe. It is worth noting that the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2019 estimated that cancer is the primary or secondary leading cause of death in 112 of 183 countries for individuals less than 70 years old, which is alarming. In addition, cancer affects socioeconomic development as well. The diagnostics of cancer are often carried out by medical experts through medical imaging; nevertheless, it is not without misdiagnosis owing to a myriad of reasons. With the advancement of technology and computing power, the use of state-of-the-art computational methods for the accurate diagnosis of cancer is no longer far-fetched. In this brief, the diagnosis of four types of common cancers, i.e., breast, lung, oral and skin, are evaluated with different state-of-the-art feature-based transfer learning models. It is expected that the findings in this book are insightful to various stakeholders in the diagnosis of cancer.
