Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We plan to publish a Special Issue in the journal Actuators to provide a broad overview of the latest achievements of actuator technologies, control and their application in many fields of industry. Papers could be original research papers, as well as review papers, focused on the current state of the art in one of the areas covered by the journal’s aims and scopes. The main topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New actuator materials;
- Innovative actuator designs and device concepts;
- Miniaturized and micro-actuators;
- Assessment and precision measurements;
- Actuators for drive/control technologies;
- Actuators for manufacturing;
- Actuators for aircrafts and on- and off-road vehicles/machines;
- Actuators for robotics and other autonomous applications;
- Actuators for biomedical applications.
This Special Issue will also include high-quality papers presented during the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Actuator Technology (IECAT 2024, https://sciforum.net/event/IECAT2024), sponsored by the MDPI open access journal Actuators. The primary aim of IECAT is to promote scientific and technological exchanges among researchers and engineers around the world. Following the end of the conference, selected papers (extended from conference proceedings) will be published in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Paolo Mercorelli
Guest Editor
