Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent advances, challenges, and innovations in the teleoperation of semi-autonomous systems across a variety of domains, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial systems, healthcare, and industrial automation. Semi-autonomous systems, which operate with varying levels of autonomy under human supervision or control, are increasingly relevant in complex, uncertain, and dynamic environments where full autonomy is either infeasible or undesirable. Teleoperation introduces an added layer of flexibility and reliability by integrating human decision-making with autonomous functionalities.
This Special Issue seeks to explore emerging methodologies in human–machine interaction, real-time communication, control architectures, sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, haptic feedback, and networked system integration that facilitate effective teleoperation. Contributions addressing latency mitigation, trust and transparency, cybersecurity, and ethical considerations are also welcome to be submitted.
This Special Issue aims to collate interdisciplinary perspectives that define the current state of the art and identify future research directions that can enhance safety, efficiency, and usability in semi-autonomous teleoperated systems.

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.
