Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled "Mobile Robots and Autonomous Vehicles with Clean and Cognitive Mobility" explores the cutting-edge technology trends and challenges in robotics and autonomous vehicles, focusing on electrification and energy-saving strategies. This Special Issue delves into the interdisciplinary nature of mobile robotics and self-driving cars, addressing navigation and perception, control systems, human–robot interaction, and energy-efficient design. Contributions include, but are not limited to, the following: theoretical frameworks, novel algorithms, experimental studies, and real-world applications. It also aims to shed light on the latest trends, innovations, and societal implications. Integrating discussions on electrification and energy-saving measures, this Special Issue seeks to promote sustainable practices in developing and deploying robotic systems, paving the way towards greener and more environmentally friendly mobility solutions.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
