Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro-medical robotic research is a field of micro-robots applied to treat or diagnose human disease. Many researchers have investigated ways to innovate conventional medical procedures, and there has been quite a bit of success recently, such as spiral micro-robots to treat occlusive blood vessels or capsule-type micro-robots to diagnose gastrointestinal disease. This issue will be a forum to discuss state-of-the-art multidisciplinary research activities of wired or wireless micro-robots at a small scale, magnetic navigation systems or any actuation systems to apply energy to micro-robots, and control methods and their application to human bodies.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Wired or wireless micro-robots at a small scale;
- Magnetic navigation systems;
- Control methods;
- Position identification;
- AI in robotics and automation;
- Human–robot interaction;
- Teleoperation;
- Handling and manipulation;
- Application to human bodies.
Original papers and survey papers are requested for the Special Issue, covering research results as well as case studies and applications in related areas of interest. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any doubts regarding your submission.

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.
