Actuators in Robotic Control—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Robotic control is the system that contributes to the movement of robots. Robotics could be controlled in various ways, including using manual control, wireless control, semi-autonomously (a mix of fully automatic and wireless control), and fully autonomously (using AI to move alone, with the potential option of manual control). In the present day, as technological advancements progress, robots and its methods of control continue to develop and advance.

Actuation, such as electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc., is often called the muscles of robots. To ensure that all of the components of a robot are soft and flexible, actuators should provide their movements in limited spaces and change gaits fairly easily. New actuator designs, control techniques, and integration techniques for robots have been developed to satisfy sophisticated demands. Innovation in actuators is one of the most important subjects for next-generation robotics.

This Special Issue will focus on progress in actuators in robotic control in different applications. Original papers and survey papers are welcome.

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.
