Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robot controllers are a key component in any robotic system, and a robot’s behavior, precision, repeatability, stability, etc., depends on the controller’s properties. PID controllers are probably the most extended approach for implementing these controllers. However, nowadays different controllers with different dynamic properties are being used for robot control and guidance, which allows robots to perform better.
This Special Issue on “Nonlinear Control in Robotics”, part of the Electronics MDPI Journal, offers a framework for the presentation of scientific research that brings together interesting and relevant contributions in the field of nonlinear controllers applied in robotics. Therefore, this Special Issue is focused on new approaches for nonlinear control in robotic systems (manipulators, mobile robotics, drones, UAV, humanoid robots, space robotics, etc.). These new approaches include but are not limited to the following:
- Motion control;
- Force control;
- Visual serving;Neural networks in robot control;
- Intelligent control in robotics;
- Deep learning and machine learning;
- Optimal control in robotics;
- Adaptive and robust control in robotics;
- Model-based control design for robotic systems;
- Modeling and simulation of robotic systems;
- Nonlinear controllers in field robotics.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
