Human Robot Interaction and Intelligent System Design

Dear Colleagues,

Humans and robots are expected to work together closely, interactively and collaboratively, sharing working spaces, in a large number of task scenarios. First, intelligent systems need to be designed with the integration of novel and multiple sensors to capture different types of sensing information (such as image, sound, bio-signal, force, tactile) in the working environments. Correspondingly, advanced signal processing and fusion techniques are required to extract important features from multimodal data. With these as inputs, intelligent learning (e.g., imitation learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning), control (such as adaptive control, bio-inspired control) and optimization (such as black box and model-based techniques) algorithms are then needed to improve the robot manipulation abilities and to improve human–robot interaction performances. The goal of the Special Issue “Human Robot Interaction and Intelligent System Design” is to cover recent advancements in system design, advanced sensing, learning, control and optimization for human–robot interaction, as well as its novel applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
