Advances in Robot Motion and Control—In Memory of Professor Krzysztof Kozlowski

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue addresses the control and trajectory tracking of different robots, including mobile, walking, and flying robots and sets of mobile robots. All these mechanical systems are described by highly nonlinear differential equations, and the geometric approach and the Lyapunov stability theory seem to be the most appropriate tools to be used to study control and trajectory tracking of these systems. It is highly interesting to know the limitations of these techniques in comparison with simple techniques such as Taylor’s linearization or the first Lyapunov method. At the same time, we want to see their applications in practice; therefore, papers showing good theory with experiments are most welcome. We strongly believe that nontrivial theory supported by good experimental work may add new value and insights into the control of mechanical systems.

Papers submitted to this Special Issue will be reviewed by no less than two independent, internationally recognized experts. Based on the rigorous review process, we will be able to select the best papers to appear in the Special Issue, and we anticipate that they will be of great interest to Applied Sciences readers.

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.
