Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue on “Modeling and Control of Mobile Robots” is to review the latest achievements in the areas of modeling the dynamics of mobile robots, advanced methods of motion planning and control, autonomous vehicle navigation, application of intelligent systems in mobile robots, etc.
Mobile robots have attracted continuous interest for several decades and have found applications in various fields, such as defense and security, industrial transport and logistics, agriculture, exploration of exoplanets and moons, and medical assistance, as well as inspection and services. Mobile robots enable the replacement of humans in performing various tasks on land, water, air, and outer space. This requires the use of increasingly advanced design solutions and control systems that enhance the efficiency of mobile robots and enable their new applications.
We believe that the publication of current solutions for mobile robots from various application areas will facilitate the exchange of experiences among researchers, scientists, and engineers from academia and industry and may inspire new and interesting research.
We are looking for current and high-quality submissions presenting research and applications covering topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Adaptive, robust, or predictive control of mobile robots under uncertain conditions;
- Machine learning and AI in navigation of mobile robots;
- Modeling and control of UGVs taking into account slippage phenomenon;
- Modeling and control of mobile robots in complex terrains;
- Dynamic modeling for high-speed mobile robots;
- Impedance control in human–robot interaction;
- Cooperative motion planning and control of multi-robot systems;
- Modeling and motion control of inspection robots;
- Control of aerial and ground mobile robots in coordinated operations.

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.
