Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Assistive robots represent a fundamental technology designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with various conditions, including mobility and neurological diseases, among others. The adoption and widespread use of these robots are influenced by public perception of new technologies and the reliability and robustness of these systems.
Extensive research has focused on advancing this technology to broaden the range of tasks that can be performed with robotic assistance. In fact, the integration of assistive robots into everyday life has the potential to improve the quality of life for all individuals, not just those with specific conditions. However, for this integration to be successful, significant advancements in robot behavior and interaction are essential.
This Special Issue will concentrate on enhancing the reliability of assistive robotics and improving human–robot interactions. We invite scientists to submit their exceptional work addressing these topics, including but not limited to the following areas:
- The design, modeling, and control of assistive robots;
- Human–robot interaction;
- Reliability of robots;
- Robotic manipulators;
- Rehabilitation robots;
- Social assistive robotics.
We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the field of assistive robotics together.

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.
