Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of intelligent and robotic systems is rapidly evolving, playing a pivotal role in transforming industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and autonomous transportation. These systems are driving innovation in areas like automation, artificial intelligence, human–robot interaction, and multi-robot coordination, enabling machines to operate autonomously and cooperatively in dynamic environments. As we advance, robotic systems are becoming increasingly capable of perceiving, learning, and adapting to their surroundings in real time, creating a new era of intelligent automation.
This Special Issue will showcase the latest research developments in this exciting field. We invite contributions that explore advancements in robotic motion planning, AI-driven control systems, and sophisticated perception and sensing technologies. Submissions that highlight breakthroughs in multi-robot coordination, machine learning in robotics, and innovative control strategies for robotic systems are particularly encouraged. Authors are invited to present novel theoretical frameworks, practical applications, or experimental results that push the boundaries of robotic autonomy and collaboration.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Motion planning and trajectory optimization for robots;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in robotics;
- Control systems for autonomous and intelligent robots;
- Perception and sensing technologies for real-time decision-making;
- Multi-robot systems and swarm robotics;
- Human–robot interaction and collaborative robotics;
- Sensor fusion, data processing, and real-time mapping for robots.
We look forward to your contributions and hope you will participate in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Hongbo Wang

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. Processes 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.
