Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the evolving landscape of Industry 5.0, the integration of human creativity and decision-making with the precision, consistency, and endurance of smart machines and intelligent algorithms is transforming industrial operations. This fusion, known as Collaborative Intelligence, represents the synergy between humans and machines, where the strengths of each complement and enhance the other. As we advance into the Industry 5.0 revolution, the focus has shifted from mere automation and efficiency to a more holistic approach that prioritizes the well-being of operators, promotes sustainability, and ensures resilience in industrial processes. This new paradigm emphasizes the digitization of industrial assets and the creation of human-centric workspaces, where digital tools not only augment human capabilities but also evolve roles to meet the demands of a rapidly changing industrial environment.
The goal of this Special Issue is to explore the diverse facets of Collaborative Intelligence within the context of Industry 5.0. We invite researchers, industry practitioners, and thought leaders to submit original research, case studies, and reviews that delve into, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Physical and Intuitive Human Robot Interaction;
- Digital Twins and Cyber–Physical Systems
- AR/VR/XR in Industry 5.0;
- Mobile Co-manipulation for Agile Manufacturing;
- Data-centric Decision Making;
- Embodied Intelligence and Cognitive Robotics ;
- Human-in-the-Loop Systems ;
- Natural Language Interfaces for Shared Autonomy;
- Adaptive Learning and Task Assignment;
- Context-aware Hybrid AI Systems;
- Ethics and Trust in Collaborative Intelligence.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
