Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of the Special Issue is to present recent advances in the control of unmanned aerial and mobile robotic systems and missile control and guidance, as well as to provide an open space for discussion on the methods used in the modeling, analysis, and synthesis of control systems, autopilot design, and sensor systems, including advanced perception solutions.  

Contributions submitted to this Special Issue can be dedicated to the theory of robotic systems in the analysis and design of existing and new constructions of control and perception systems and their industrial applications. They may also cover recent developments in mechatronic and robotic systems and their constrained control methods with advanced sensors. The proposed techniques and methods should be innovative and significant to the community interested in unmanned robotics and control engineering.

We are pleased to invite you to publish your latest work in the above fields. Contributing to this Special Issue will enhance the visibility of your research and achievements.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

  1. Modern control theory and methods;
  2. The modelling of unmanned systems;
  3. Modern mobile and aerial robotics;
  4. Unmanned aerial vehicles;
  5. Unmanned ground vehicles;
  6. Aircraft and flight systems design;
  7. Missile modelling, control, and guidance;
  8. Autopilot design;
  9. Formations and swarms;
  10. Sensors and perception systems;
  11. The psychological effects on operators of unmanned 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 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.
