Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biorobotics is a key contributor to the growing field of biomimetics. The use of soft materials, sensors, and sensing of an environment for decision making and further engagement particularity in natural unstructured environments is key to both robotics and biology. Biorobotics provides a unique and innovative platform for the development of successful agent–environment interactions. This topic has the potential to provide key transfers of knowledge in both directions, from technological advances to hypothesis testing on biological behaviors and function of structures.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in the field of biorobotics and to bring together biologists, engineers, and roboticists. This theme is inherently interdisciplinary, and thus focuses on bioinspired and biological robots but extends the topic to elements of their construction such as design, materials, sensing, and control. To successfully achieve this, we warmly encourage both original and review contributions from the fields of computational biology, cognitive science, comparative biomechanics, evolutionary biorobotics, and bio-inspired 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. 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.
