Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The convergence of artificial intelligence, adaptive computation, and physical embodiment is giving rise to a new era of intelligent systems that are capable of interacting seamlessly with the world. From autonomous robots and drones to edge AI devices and smart materials, embodied intelligence is transforming how machines perceive, decide, and act within complex, real-world environments. This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge research at the interface of intelligent computing and systems engineering, with a particular emphasis on the role of embodiment in enabling adaptive, robust, and context-aware intelligent behavior. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that advance the design, computation, integration, and application of intelligent systems across physical, cyber-physical, and biological domains.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Learning-enabled control and decision-making for embodied agents;
- Neuromorphic computing and brain-inspired architectures;
- Edge AI and embedded systems for real-time perception and inference;
- Multi-agent and swarm intelligence for cooperative system design;
- Hardware–software co-design for robotics, wearables, and autonomous vehicles;
- Bio-inspired and morphologically adaptive systems;
- Robust and resilient computing for uncertain and dynamic environments.

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.
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.
