Applied Mathematics for Emerging Trends in Mechatronic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

We invite high-quality, original research contributions to the Topical Collection "Applied Mathematics for Emerging Trends in Mechatronic Systems". This interdisciplinary collection aims to explore how advanced mathematical methods are shaping the future of mechatronics—an evolving field at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, control, and computer engineering.
Modern mechatronic systems—from autonomous robots and AGVs to smart manufacturing and cyber–physical systems—demand rigorous modeling, robust control, and intelligent optimization. This collection seeks to highlight how applied mathematics plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges, offering theoretical foundations and practical tools to develop more efficient, adaptive, and intelligent systems.

Scope and Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Mathematical modeling and analysis of mechatronic components and systems;
• Nonlinear dynamics, stability, and control in electromechanical systems;
• Optimization methods for robotics, automation, and intelligent systems;
• Computational techniques and numerical methods in mechatronic design;
• System identification and data-driven modeling approaches;
• Control algorithm development and real-time embedded implementation;
• Applications of differential equations, linear algebra, and fractional calculus;
• Integration of AI techniques (e.g., neural networks, fuzzy logic) in control and modeling;
• Emerging applications in robotics, AGVs, Industry 4.0, and smart systems.

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. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
