Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of biorobotics is rapidly evolving, offering innovative solutions that bridge the fields of biology and robotics in order to address complex challenges. This Special Issue focuses on the control and application of biorobotics, encompassing a wide range of biosoftics; this includes, but is not limited to, soft robotics, continuum robotics, bioinspired aerial robotics, climbing robots, legged robotics, origami robotics, nanorobots, humanoid robots, and swarm robotics. By leveraging biological principles, biorobots can achieve unprecedented levels of adaptability, precision, and efficiency. The key areas of interest include novel control models, advanced actuation and sensing technologies, and practical applications in various domains such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, complex condition detection, and industrial automation. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements, theoretical developments, and practical implementations in the field of biorobotics, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and the dissemination of cutting-edge research.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
