Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide comprehensive review/research articles on the state of the art of small-scale robotics at the micro/nanometer level and to highlight the various approaches towards actuators for biomedical applications. Micro/nanorobots have tremendous potential to be utilized in biomedical applications, with advantages in their high precision and swarm operations. However, there are still many challenges remaining for biomedical applications with living organisms, such as innovative designs for the integration of functionalities, biocompatible actuation systems, and imaging tracking technology. This issue presents the main challenges of micro/nanorobots for biomedical developments, including, but not limited to, novel hardware design, actuation principles, dynaimics, controls, sensors, new functionalities, and artificial intelligence.

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.
