Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robotic systems are now present in all spheres of human life. Robots have shown great advantages for, and are used widely in, many controlled, simple, and repetitive applications such as grasping, pick-and-place operations, and manipulation tasks, including teleoperated systems. Applications for these types of systems have spanned the medical, industrial, manufacturing, and autonomous exploration fields. However, the design approaches for grasping and motion control in these diverse areas of robotics can vary greatly, which is attributed to the fact that most robotic systems are typically designed for very specific types of tasks. Although many universal grippers and control strategies have been developed for robotic systems, there remain, nonetheless, many applications for which highly specialized grippers or control techniques must be used. In addition, we are now beginning to see that in designing highly specialized grippers, novel control strategies can be enabled and vice versa. Intentionally co-designing both the grasping end-effector as well as the motion control strategy may enable new classes of highly specialized, yet also universal, robotic manipulation technologies. Highlighting the current research focused on issues of advanced robotic grasping and motion control solutions is important in terms of fostering further interdisciplinary connections between researchers for vast application domains, as well as sub-specialties in robot design and control.
This Special Issue invites the submission of papers that present new methods, approaches, designs, concepts, and software tools for advanced robotic grasping and motion control solutions. Particular attention will be paid to solving grasping problems, modeling grippers, and robot motion control in various software environments, as well as improving the design of novel robotic solutions. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to: the design and prototyping of grippers; motion planning and control; modeling/simulation of robotic applications; robotic grasping and dexterous manipulation; human–robot interaction; the computation of robotic systems; and control systems in experiments.

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. Robotics 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 1800 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.
