Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites advanced research on motor condition monitoring, focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), parameter identification, and novel sensor technologies. With the rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and safety of electric motors has become critical across industries such as industrial automation, robotics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative methodologies that bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical applications, addressing challenges such as real-time data processing, fault prediction, and adaptive control.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- AI-driven anomaly detection and fault diagnosis: Leveraging machine learning (e.g., deep neural networks and reinforcement learning) and data fusion techniques to identify motor faults, such as bearing wear, rotor imbalance, and insulation degradation.
- Dynamic parameter identification: Advanced algorithms for the real-time estimation of motor parameters (e.g., resistance, inductance, and inertia) under varying operational conditions. Examples include adaptive estimation frameworks and hybrid models combining physics-based and data-driven approaches.
- Smart sensor technologies: Development of embedded sensors (e.g., AI-integrated current/voltage sensors and MEMS-based vibration sensors) and wireless sensor networks for high-precision, low-latency data acquisition.
- Digital twin applications: Virtual modeling of motor systems for predictive maintenance, integrating real-time sensor data with physics-based simulations to optimize performance and longevity.
- Multimodal data fusion and collaborative analytics: AI-driven integration of heterogeneous data (current, vibration, and temperature) for real-time monitoring, fault prediction, and enhanced reliability in motor systems.
I/we look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
