Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to participate in the second edition of this Special Issue, entitled “Motion Planning, Trajectory Prediction, and Control for Robotics—2nd Edition”.
Motion planning and control are fundamental techniques for intelligent robotic systems, thus becoming hotspots in the robotics field. Practical robotic systems, including manipulators and ground/aerial/underwater/legged mobile robots, are activated by a variety of actuators such as electrical motors and electro-hydraulic units. These actuators, in practice, are subject to various modeling uncertainties and a number of physical constraints including kinematic and dynamic constraints, which pose significant challenges on the motion planning and control of a robotic system. Therefore, it is crucial to develop advanced motion planning and control strategies considering these modeling uncertainties and physical constraints, inspiring this Special Issue.
This Special Issue invites relevant robotic researchers to share their most recent achievements in motion planning, trajectory prediction, and control for robotic systems. Original papers reporting novel approaches and significant results are welcome.
This Special Issue focuses on topics including but not limited to the following:
Collision-avoidance path planning; optimal trajectory planning; trajectory prediction in human/environment/robot interactions; system modeling and identification; advanced robotic motion/force control; and human–robot interaction control.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
