Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence are transforming human–robot interaction (HRI) and collaboration, enhancing capabilities in various domains, including manufacturing, healthcare, service industries, and autonomous systems. Integrating advanced sensing, control, and learning mechanisms enables robots to work alongside humans in dynamic and unstructured environments. These developments require innovative multimodal perception, adaptive control, and machine-learning approaches to ensure seamless, safe, and efficient human–robot collaboration.
This Special Issue on “Human–Robot Interaction and Collaboration: Advances in Sensing, Control, and Learning” aims to showcase cutting-edge research in these areas. We invite contributions that address novel methodologies, system implementations, and experimental validations to improve HRI and collaborative robotics. Topics of interest include but are not limited to human-intent recognition, shared autonomy, robot learning, multimodal sensing, adaptive and explainable AI in robotics, and applications in assistive robotics. This Special Issue encourages interdisciplinary perspectives from robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and human factors engineering to drive forward the next generation of intelligent collaborative robots.

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. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
