Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In general, kinematically redundant robots have more degrees of freedom than are necessary to perform required tasks. Kinematically redundant robots have the potential to be applied in many fields from industrial applications through service tasks to medical applications. This Special Issue is closely connected with mechanisms such as snake robots, redundant manipulators, elephant´s trunk robots, continuum robots, soft robots, humanoid robots, surgical robots, and others. Considering the kinematic aspects of these mechanisms, they have the great ability to be flexible and adaptable to the rough, dangerous, rugged, and inaccessible spaces, where conventional mechanisms fail or cannot be used.
This Special Issue, therefore, aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of redundant robots.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Learning algorithms and neural networks for motion planning;
- Algorithms focused on real-time control;
- Sensors in continuum robots;
- Advanced control systems and algorithms;
- Computer vision;
- Teleoperation of continuum robots;
- Haptic technology.

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. Sensors 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
