Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nature always inspires human with marvelous structures and phenomena. Most creative sensors, system designs, and algorithms are developed based on bionic research. The outstanding abilities of undersea animals bring novel mechanisms, perception, control, and behaviors for underwater robots. Underwater sensors such as bionic lateral line, tactile and visual sensors, in addition to sound sensors, are being developed for underwater sensing. Deep learning has been introduced into data processing and brings new opportunities for underwater robot perception based on mass sensing data. Furthermore, knowledge graphs are helpful for underwater sensing, perception and complex underwater operations. New bionic sensing technologies also improve the performance of robotic control systems and make complex underwater robot behaviors possible. The Special Issue entitled "Bionic Sensing Technology of Underwater Robots" aims to present recent research on any aspect of bionic sensing mechanisms, multi-modal fusion, deep learning, knowledge graphs, situation comprehension and sensor-based control for underwater robots. Some of its focal points include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. bionic sensing,
  2. information fusion,
  3. knowledge graphs;
  4. intelligent control.

Reviews, original research, and communications will be welcome.

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). 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.
