Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean is rich in oil and gas energy reseves, rare minerals and sea creatures. As such, it is regarded as crucial object of reseach from a wide array of perspectives including scientific, environmental, as well as military. In this context, underwater robotic systems have emerged as a fascinating research area and a promising industry tool as advanced technologies are being increasingly explored to design various subsystems. Significant research efforts have been undertaken to develop new concepts of underwater robotics, such as the development of new materials, advanced computing and sensory technology, and new theories, to overcome the many engineering challenges engendered by the unstructured and hazardous ocean environment.
This Special Issue aims to collate research papers that provide an overview of the recent progress in the investigation and practical applications of new underwater robotics concepts. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: design method; control algorithm; topological optimization; hydrodynamic analysis; prognosis and health management; practical applications and experiments; reliability and safety; and future perspectives for underwater robotics.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
