Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design and analysis of traditional control systems is based on accurate system mathematical models. However, practical processes are complex, nonlinear, and time varying. It is generally impossible to obtain an accurate mathematical model due to the uncertainties. For the actual system, it is often necessary to put forward and follow certain harsh linearization assumptions, which are often inconsistent with the reality in application. Moreover, some complex and uncertain control objects cannot be described by the traditional mathematical model, which makes traditional model-based control methods invalid. There is a paradox in that the actual control task is complex, while the traditional control task has low requirements and cannot reduce complexity.
In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced manufacturing, power systems, aerospace, and other fields, traditional control methods cannot meet their requirements of complex dynamic processes. Therefore, a variety of advanced intelligent control methods, such as fuzzy control, data-driven control, neural network control, and learning control, have emerged and achieved successful applications.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging theories and applications with advanced nonlinear intelligent control and address recent breakthroughs from theoretical and practical aspects.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Fuzzy control;
- Neural network control;
- Reinforcement learning;
- Model-free control;
- Data-driven control;
- Nonlinear intelligent control: theory and applications;
- Intelligent control algorithms and their applications in power system, robotics, unmanned vehicles, etc.

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.
