Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of robotics and artificial intelligence to solve problems, improve safety and yield new insights across a growing number of application domains is a major global trend. The diverse field of robotics applications is expanding, and ranges from medicine and agriculture to condition assessment and factory floors. Recent advances in sensor technologies, along with on-board processing resources, have enabled the application of many robotics with higher levels of autonomy and intelligent decision making. The focus of this Special Issue is to highlight how researchers employ robotics and/or artificial intelligence in the field to address some of these key application domains.
The scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not limited to):
- Field robotics systems, trials and applications;
- Robotic sensor technologies with field applications;
- Applications of AI to robotics, vision and sensor domains;
- Visual and non-visual sensor algorithms and implementations;
- Mobile robotics and navigation;
- Human–robot interactions;
- Bio-inspired robotics;
- Computational intelligence in robotics;
- Haptics;
- Algorithms;
- Video and image processing;
- Field trials;
- Mechatronics systems and applications;
- Swarm robotics;
- Social robotics;
- IoT robotics crossover applications.
This Special Issue will act as a repository for state-of-the-art research on the use, breadth and implementation of robotics to address real-world problems across different domains. The repository will supplement existing literature by demonstrating and evaluating the use of robots in the field to demonstrate the implementation and use of robotics in contrast to simply theoretical models.

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. Big Data and Cognitive Computing 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.
