Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomimetic technologies have been widely used to promote the development of robot technology, in which the legged robot based on bionic characteristics plays an important role in replacing or assisting human beings to complete tasks in complex and uncertain environments. In order to improve environmental adaptability and system stability, the legged robot has to deal with many challenges, such as a bionic mechanism design based on a biological mechanism, trajectory planning in line with biological habits, and more robust and stable control methods.
This Special Issue on “Bio-Inspired Design and Control of Legged Robots” aims to showcase new research achievements, findings, and ideas in the field of bio-inspired legged robots, such as mechanism design of legged robots, the study of multimotion modes, the plan of footsteps, the proposal of stable and robust control methods, machine learning, and so on. To this end, we encourage submissions of papers with new advances in theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches to bionic legged robot applications. We call for contributions from researchers in all realms of bio-inspired design and control of legged robots.

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.
