Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will provide an overview of the preponderant role that mechatronic systems have acquired in contemporary scientific, technological, and industrial development. In recent decades, mechatronics has evolved from a discipline that integrates mechanics, electronics, and control to become the central axis of intelligent solutions in various strategic sectors. Its impact is evident in advanced robotics applications, in the design and implementation of autonomous systems, and in the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, and additive manufacturing. In particular, the contribution of mechatronic systems in the area of automatic control has been crucial to the development of more precise, adaptive, and efficient supervisory architectures by integrating smart sensors, high-precision actuators, and advanced control algorithms that allow for robotic platforms to interact with their environment autonomously and safely.
Likewise, the incorporation of artificial intelligence techniques has given rise to systems that are capable of learning, reasoning, and making decisions in real-time, significantly expanding their range of application—from industrial automation to medical assistance to exploration in unstructured environments. In this context, this Special Issue aims to gather original contributions and reviews that examine the key intersections between mechatronics, control, robotics, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches that foster the development of intelligent cyber–physical systems and their influence on global technological innovation.

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. Automation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
