Guidance, Navigation, and Fault-Tolerant Control of Autonomous Systems

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Today autonomous systems including ground, aerial, maritime, and space platforms are envisioned to intermingle and achieve high levels of performance as well as other intelligent and cooperative behaviors, and they operate in complex, uncertain, and dynamically changing environments. Given the complex missions to be achieved in such environments, operational strategy for autonomous systems should provide a reliable, robust, efficient, and safe solution. The Special Issue aims to discuss state-of-the-art operational approaches for autonomous platforms, where the potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Guidance, navigation, and control for nonlinear systems
  • System health assessment, monitoring, and adaptive operations
  • Multi-robot-system operations for collaborative tasks
  • Collision-free dynamic path-planning in uncertain environments
  • Fault detection, isolation, and reconfigurable system design
  • Fault-tolerant control system design
  • Static and dynamic property estimation for autonomous systems
  • New autonomous platform design and development
  • Positioning, localization, and tracking system

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.
