Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biped robotics is a rapidly evolving field that aims to bridge the gap between human capabilities and machine functionality. This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in biped robot design, control systems, and applications. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the field, encompassing mechanical engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, biomechanics, and materials science. This Special Issue delves into innovative approaches to achieving human-like balance, agility, and adaptability in robots. Key topics include advancements in actuators and sensors, the integration of machine learning algorithms for improved movement and decision-making, and the potential societal impacts of widespread biped robot adoption. Additionally, this Special Issue examines the integration of additive manufacturing and biomaterials, which enhance the structural and functional capabilities of biped robots. The articles underscore the challenges and opportunities in creating robots that can seamlessly operate in human environments, aiming to enhance productivity and safety across various sectors.

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.
