Symmetry in Robot Design and Application

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce a new Special Issue, “Symmetry in Robot Design and Application”, of the journal Symmetry. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that investigate various aspects of symmetry in robot design, ranging from theoretical frameworks to practical applications. In the field of robotics, symmetry involves properties such as geometric symmetry, task execution symmetry, and control symmetry. Considering symmetry when designing robots can bring several advantages, such as simplifying control algorithms, improving stability, and reducing system design complexity. Through this Special Issue, we aspire to highlight how the exploration of symmetry can deepen our comprehension of scientific challenges while propelling advancements in robotics technology. We welcome submissions that elucidate novel insights into symmetry-driven design principles, innovative methodologies in robotic systems, and case studies demonstrating the practical benefits of symmetry in diverse application domains.

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 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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry 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.
