Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of complex MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) mechatronic systems has garnered significant attention from researchers across various disciplines in recent years. Given the intricate interplay between mechanical, electrical, and control systems within these systems, there is a pressing need to develop advanced modeling techniques and nonlinear control strategies. Accurate modeling of these systems is crucial for achieving precise control, while nonlinear control methods are essential for managing their inherent complexities and uncertainties.
This Special Issue aims to focus on publishing cutting-edge research that addresses the challenges associated with modeling and nonlinear control for complex MIMO mechatronic systems. We invite submissions that present novel approaches to the modeling, simulation, and control of such systems. Whether you are from an academic or industrial background, we welcome original and innovative research studies that contribute to advancing our understanding and practical application of these systems.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Advanced modeling techniques for MIMO mechatronic systems;
- Dynamic analysis and system identification methods for nonlinear systems;
- Trajectory planning and optimization for MIMO mechatronic systems;
- Nonlinear control strategies and algorithms for complex systems;
- Observer design and observer-based control for MIMO systems;
- Robust and adaptive control methods for handling uncertainties and disturbances;
- Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control in MIMO mechatronic systems;
- Experimental validation and real-world applications of modeling and control strategies.
We believe that through collaborative efforts and knowledge exchange, we can drive forward the frontiers of modeling and nonlinear control for complex MIMO mechatronic systems. Together, let us create a future where these systems operate more efficiently, reliably, and safely. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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.
