Modeling, Optimization and Control of Robotic Systems
This special issue belongs to the section “Actuators for Robotics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robotics has grown in importance in industrial applications, domestic services, and healthcare as one of the most promising future technologies. Robotics is concerned with interdisciplinary research and development in fields such as design optimization, kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, control, sensors, and machine intelligence. The control system is at the heart of robotic system development and implementation. The breadth of robotics and control research has resulted in numerous notable achievements that can be shared with the research community.
The proposed Special Issue's main goal is to present a cutting-edge collection of articles presenting novel developments in robot dynamic modeling, optimization and control, as well as experimental studies related to their use in real-world applications. This Special Issue covers a variety of contributions from different fields.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Actuators 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 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.
