Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will develop advanced methodologies for artificial intelligence (AI) use in the perception and diagnosis of mechanical equipment. Mechanical equipment types such as wind turbines, motors, pumps, and vehicles usually operate under tough environments and are prone to malfunction. Fault diagnosis plays a vital role in ensuring the safety operation of machinery and has been a hot research topic in recent years. Nowadays, AI is one of the most rapid and remarkable technologies available. AI is now bringing great opportunities and revolutionary changes to every field. The rapid development of AI also promotes the diagnosis of mechanical equipment. Ever-more researchers seek to develop AI-driven diagnosis methods for diagnosing faults more accurately and rapidly. Many issues such as the interpretability of AI in the diagnosis of mechanical equipment, continual learning for AI-driven diagnosis methods, and the application of large language models to diagnosis have not been well solved. This Special Issue seeks contributions from researchers and industry professionals, aiming to accelerate the development of intelligent perception and diagnosis for mechanical equipment with the help of AI. It invites original research articles, review papers, and case studies that present novel applications of AI for mechanical equipment diagnosis.

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.
