Advances in Human-Machine Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to submit original research or review articles to the journal Electronics for the Special Issue entitled “Advances in Human-Machine Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics”.

Human–machine interaction allows the exchange of information and collaboration between human beings and intelligent machine systems. The success of this interaction is due to many factors, including the naturalness with which the user receives information from the machine and its environment, the ease with which the user collaborates with the machine, the simplicity of the interfaces or devices used for the interaction, and the manner that benefits are found from both the abilities of human and the capabilities of the machine.

From an industrial point of view, human–machine interaction opens the possibility of improving current processes by means of a real collaboration between workers and automatic systems. In this sense, human–machine interaction gives rise to new industrial solutions in which workers and machines work closely to improve the ergonomics and safety of workers, as well as the efficiency of the production lines and the quality of the resulting products.

Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of technical, experimental, and methodological papers related to human–machine interaction. Moreover, special attention will be given to innovative approaches, strategies, and applications developed to improve current industrial processes.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Human–machine interfaces;
• Human–robot collaboration;
• Augmented reality applications;
• Virtual reality applications;
• Development of human–robot devices;
• Haptic feedback applications;
• Human–robot control design;
• Human–computer interaction;
• Human–machine communication;
• Implementation of collaborative robotics systems;
• Simulation of human–robot interaction in stochastic scenarios;
• Artificial intelligence applied to the industry;
• Real-time simulation of digital twins;
• Implementation of extended reality interfaces for industrial applications;
• Development of robot feedback controllers;
• Development and validation of industrial metaverses;
• Big data analytics;
• Industrial management;
• Logistics.

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.
