Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world faces new challenges, technology provides novel or improved solutions to emerging problems, enabling future developments in science and technology. In a dynamic world with new trends and fast technological advancements, there is a need for complex mechatronics and robotic systems that work with automated devices and perform multiple tasks based on predefined or adaptive computer applications. Robotic process automation streamlines workflows, which makes the mechanical systems flexible and more productive. Complex mechatronics, automation, and robotic systems have broad applications in various fields such as nanotechnology, chemical, electrical, energy, building, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medicine, automotive, hydromechanics, transport, mining, marine, aircraft, military industries, and manufacturing and service (e.g., process control via complex interconnected systems).
This Special Issue collects contributions from scientists from around the world, in the form of original papers or substantial review articles (concerning system modeling, analysis, design, prototyping, automatic control, modern production techniques, and fabrication) exploring cutting-edge research in the field of complex mechatronics, automation, and robotics systems with great economic/technological impacts, which will be fundamental for future applications.

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).
