Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In our modern society, the development of smart devices, machines, and robots is crucial, which calls for the development of novel and optimized mechanisms, machine parts design and robotic structures.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute results of your latest theoretical and experimental research results in the field of mechanism science, mechanical transmissions, robotics, mechatronics and biomechanics to our Special Issue. The main topics include mechanism applications and development of mechanical transmissions, biomechanics, machine design, robotics applications, biorobotics and mobile robotics. The aim is to have a collection of at least 10 articles, with extended papers from the MTM & Robotics 2026 Conference; regular papers are also welcome. This Special Issue may be printed in book form if this number is reached.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Innovative machines design and theory
- Novel mechanisms and mechanical transmissions applications;
- Biorobotics, teleoperation, haptics and virtual reality;
- Robotics, mechatronics and intelligent machines.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
