Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robots play an important role in daily life and industrial applications. There is continuously increasing interest in robot systems, both in academic research institutions and at industrial sites. Traditional robotics provides a time-efficient, low-cost, high-precision, and reliable solution to manufacturing processes, while conventional robot systems have less impact in other scenarios. With the rapid development of highly integrated robot systems, robots are supplied with more diverse and complicated functions via intelligent perception and control methodologies. In industry, some advanced and autonomous robots are able to deal with specific operations, even in a time-dependent environment. These robots can carry out tasks in collaboration with other robots or professional workers, which can significantly expand their applications to a higher level. Robots are becoming popular in our daily lives, especially with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). Service robots can deliver food, provide essential guidance, and communicate with customers in restaurants, shopping malls, or banks. Some commercial robot products serve as healthcare robots or assistive robots with impressive performance.
Robot systems are becoming ‘smarter’ due to the application of advanced sensor fusion, intelligent control strategies, highly integrated algorithms, and AI. This phenomenon comes from the cross-disciplinary cooperation of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, software engineering, etc. The objectives of this Special Issue are to explore the latest research addressing theoretical or experimental breakthroughs in the field of robot perception and control strategies. High-quality original research articles and review articles are welcome. Research topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Robotics and automation;
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping);
- Human–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).
