Artificial Intelligence Techniques and Robotic Control Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to artificial intelligence techniques and robotic control systems.

Robotic control systems are of great significance to improve innovation ability and promote the global economy development. The applications of artificial intelligence include machine vision, voice interaction, intelligent robot and path planning, etc. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in robot control systems. Different from traditional robot systems, intelligent robot control systems based on artificial intelligence technology could better serve humans and society and are attracting increasing interest from the research community. Thus, this Special Issue will serve as an essential and timely venue for sharing research advances in this field and should be of interest to potential readers.

In this Special Issue, the list of possible submissions includes but is not limited to:

• Multi-robot coordinated control;
• Robot path planning based on artificial intelligence techniques;
• Multi-agent system distributed intelligent control;
• Human-following algorithm for mobile robots; 
• Natural human computer interaction based on robot systems;
• Robot arm grasping based on vision;
• Cooperative control of multiple underwater vehicles;
• Underwater object recognition of AUV.

Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome.

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.
