Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Mathematics focuses on the Application of Mathematical Analysis and Theory to Robotics, with the aim of solving emerging problems in a creative, novel, and efficient way, as well as optimizing solutions to existing robotics problems. With the exponential growth of new areas of robotics, such as reconfigurable manipulators, walking machines, rehabilitation robots, grasping robots, collaborative robots, hyper-redundant manipulators, and so on, in addition to conventional robots such as parallel and serial manipulators, mathematical methods have been challenged to progress in relatively short periods of time. The benefits of efficient mathematical methods in line with new robot manipulators are reflected, for example, in faster, more accurate, and environmentally friendly robots. The purpose of this Special Issue is to selectively collect new results related to the application of known and new mathematical methods for solving emerging problems in robotics, in addition to improving existing ones. Thus, this is an open invitation to academics to share research work in this area.

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.
