Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current era, we are witnessing the transition from mastering automation toward achieving autonomy. The mastery of automation has a foundation rooted in the mathematical theories underlying the control of dynamical systems. Certainly, the achievement of autonomy depends on whether we will be able to build solid mathematical principles underlying the design of artificial intelligence or artificial minds inside the advanced robots of the future.
This Special Issue seeks papers within its scope, which encompasses the new mathematical challenges and algorithmic innovations faced by intelligent robots that can autonomously undertake various tasks in a real environment in real time. Among these challenges, the biggest one is discovering the mathematical principles underlying the pipeline of transformations from visual sensory signals to visual knowledge (i.e., geometry, topology, kinematics, and dynamics), from existing knowledge about the physical space to new knowledge about the same physical space, and from the knowledge about tasks to be performed in a real environment to motor signals which can be performed by a robot’s body or mechanism.
If your research can contribute partially to the above areas of study, please indicate your interest to me as soon as possible. Among the potential contributors, five of them will be granted the full waiver of publication/processing fees. I hope that you will be among these five authors in this exciting Special Issue.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
