Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Mathematics focuses on autonomous robotics systems that rely on advanced computational algorithms and control strategies to develop intelligent robots capable of identifying, planning, and executing tasks without human intervention. These systems can integrate sensing (LiDAR, cameras, IMU), real-time processing (edge computing, GPU/TPU), or decision-making (AI, SLAM, reinforcement learning) elements to operate in complex environments under the supervision of specialized control laws. Real-time computation constraints, sensor fusion, uncertainty handling, energy efficiency, and safety in human–robot interactions are some of the challenges that the articles in this Special Issue will be addressing.
We look forward to hearing from authors around the world, and welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: autonomous vehicles and drones, search and rescue robots, medical robotics, soft robotics, cooperative robots, space exploration systems, and industrial automation.
Dr. J. C. Avila-Vilchis

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.
