Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, robotics has achieved significant developments driven by advancements in automation engineering, artificial intelligence, and sensor technologies. These developments have enhanced robots' capabilities and expanded their applications across various fields including industry, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and space exploration. In the fields of automation and intelligent control for robotics, improving control accuracy and system stability, sensor data integration and data processing, and task decision and planning abilities have always been important research issues.
This Special Issue aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and challenges in the field of automation and intelligent control for robotics. Application areas of interest include (but are not limited to) automation and intelligent control for industrial robots, space robots, underwater robots, medical robots, servicing robots, educational robots, and so on.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following：
- Autonomous navigation and path planning for robotics;
- Intelligent control algorithms for robotics;
- Intelligent robots and systems;
- Micro electro mechanical systems;
- Mobile robots and intelligent autonomous systems;
- Precision motion control;
- Optomechatronics integration;
- Robot calibration and automation;
- Sensors and detection technology;
- Robot design, development, and advanced control;
- Advanced decision and robust 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.
