Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design and control of robots based on the biological mechanisms of plants and animals in nature is a key theme in robotics research. As a discipline arising from the fusion of new materials, mechanical design, motor control, and AI algorithms, biomimetics provides unique inspiration for advancing the development of cognitive and collaborative functionalities, as well as improving the dexterous and versatile manipulation capabilities of robots.
The aim of this second volume is to collect contributions on the design and control of bionic robots. By covering issues from biomimetic materials to biomimetic mechanical design, brain-inspired robotic cognition-related learning, and bioinspired control, our Special Issue provides an updated view of the status quo and perspectives in a rapidly growing field of the design and control of bionic robots. The present collection of papers, taking advantage of the open access format, is expected to provide a paradigm of the power of biomimetic approaches for discovering new important research avenues and for innovative solutions in the design and control of bionic robots.
To further its aims of combining basic research and applications, this Special Issue is divided into two main focuses:
- Design, covering topics such as: the mechanical design of biomimetic robots; intelligent sensors (e.g., vision, tactile, etc.) for perception and exploration; new materials; applications of biomimetic robotics in industry, e.g., manipulation, robot assisted surgery.
- Control, including bioinspired robotic learning and control, intelligent learning methods from a biomimetic view; computational neuroscience of perception and action; bionic motion control; advanced multi-modal sensing information fusion.
We believe that this initiative will fill an important gap in biomimetic technologies.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs).
