Intelligent Mechatronics: Perception, Optimization, and Control

Dear Colleagues,

Mechatronics systems are usually designed by using the principles of mechanics, electronics, and computing to generate simpler, more economical and reliable systems, which have received abundant attention from the modern industrial field. With the significant development of technology, more and more intelligent mechatronics systems are designed and used to replace parts of manual manipulations. However, the working properties of mechatronics systems may be complex and there still exist lots of open and challenging problems to be solved, which is regarded as one of the most popular research topics.

This Special Issue welcomes, the research on intelligent mechatronics systems that could effectively improve the performance of the system including perception, optimization, and control. We believe that this Special Issue will contribute a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging novel research ideas or empirical practices.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Intelligent designing and modeling of mechatronics;
• Deep learning;
• Optimization;
• Adaptive control;
• Vibration control;
• Learning control;
• Fault diagnostics;
• Other related topics on mechatronics.

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.
