Modeling, Simulation and Control of Soft Robotics

Dear Colleagues,

Soft robot is a young, but active robotic domain, which is a frontier interdisciplinary combined with Robotics, Biomechanics, Computer Science and Control Science. The advantages of soft robots with deformable materials make them more suitable to be used in various applications, especially for medical applications. The advancement of soft robotics highly benefits from the new technical developments of those mentioned disciplines. This special issue invites researchers to contribute their original works to present new advancements on flexible material and its mechanism, new technologies on soft sensors and actuators, new developments on modeling, simulation and control of soft robots, and the related novel applications of soft robot.

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-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.
