Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of new technologies and application areas in human–robot interaction is having significant and meaningful impacts on the ways people experience and interact with the world. This Special Issue sheds light on challenges in the design and use of robots and intelligent systems in our everyday life. Furthermore, this Special Issue invites scholars to critically reflect on the future perspectives of this research field.
We encourage the following types of submissions (among others):
- Design studies or evaluative research that highlight how the features of robots and intelligent systems are intended to support people’s engagement, learning, and behaviors in everyday life.
- Critical, sociological, and/or methodological articles on the opportunities/challenges of designing/using intelligent technology in this field.
- Towards the development of empathic machines: understanding and modeling human behavior to create machines that can respond to and understand humans at an emotional level.
- Affective haptics: sensors and/or actuators designed to support human–robot interaction through touch.
- Ethnographic and cultural topics related to human–robot interaction.
- Calm-technology approach to human–robot interaction.
- In-the-wild and field studies on human–robot interaction.
- Child–robot interaction.
- Infant–robot interaction.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
