Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobile robotic systems have been at the forefront of rapid development and continuous evolution over the past decade. Fundamental challenges, such as humanoid robot motion control or aerial vehicle synchronization, have been resolved in record time, demonstrating outstanding performance in executing complex tasks even in realistic environments or with limited resources. This progress would not have been possible without the development of advanced and intelligent control algorithms that account for complex model dynamics, physical system limitations, and external disturbances, as well as the characteristics and constraints of communication networks and the computational resources of the platforms where they are implemented.
This Special Issue aims to compile the latest developments in control methodologies and algorithms, as well as their applications in advanced robotic systems and complex mobile systems. These advancements take advantage of the latest technological innovations in mechanisms, materials, construction technologies, communication networks, and any other technological breakthroughs that could enrich the field of control methods and their applications in advanced robotics.
The primary objective of this Special Issue is to gather recent advancements in robotics, focusing particularly on practical and theoretical challenges, efficient implementations in real-world applications, and innovative designs whose benefits can be validated through simulations. It aims to encompass a broad spectrum of significant applications in robotics and control, including the following:
- Modeling and Control Design;
- Sensing, Measurement, and Estimation;
- Real-time Embedded Systems;
- Solving of Complex Motion Tasks;
- Novel Mechanical Design;
- Artificial Intelligence in Control Applications;
- Intelligent Control.

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.
