Cooperative Microactuator Systems
This special issue belongs to the section “Miniaturized and Micro Actuators“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Isssue collects the emerging research activities in the field of cooperative microactuator systems, which are expected to generate new synergies, e.g. through parallelization, cascading and multistability as well as through inherent sensing. New theoretically founded concepts will be required for understanding the complex coupling and synergy effects due to the close neighbourhood of microactuators in small space. Furthermore, new methods for design, fabrication and control will be needed to enable the cooperation of similar or different microactuators. This Special Issue seeks contributions in the fields of:
- Locomotion systems
- Manipulation of objects at different length and time scales
- Adaptive optical and mechanical systems
- Fluid flow control systems

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-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.
