Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of mobile robots today is fully extended to the execution of numerous automatic tasks, from hospital applications, to housework, passing through the most traditional industrial services. The current trend is an increase in robotic applications, boosted by the development of new locomotion and perception systems, meaning that new autonomous mobile systems appear constantly, and allowing the development of particular solutions to new unaddressed problems—namely, aerial, floating, underwater, omnidirectional or hybrid terrestrial platforms provide new paradigms that must be solved from the point of view of modeling, planning, control, perception, localization, or many other questions associated with robotic tasks.
Accordingly, procedures and methodologies that allow facing these new challenges are required, and as a consequence, science is currently immersed in the search for appropriate tools to solve those new problems that arise within the mobile robotics field.
This Special Issue is intended to cover contributions related to mathematics, models, and methods in mobile robotics with the aim of addressing solutions to new paradigms, problems, and questions regarding this scientific area. The scope of this issue includes different topics such as mathematics methodologies, kinematics and dynamics modeling, artificial intelligence, planning, data processing, control strategies or intelligent perception, and any particular scientific methodology that helps to advance the field of mobile 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. 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.
