Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inspired by the special functions of biology, studies on the biomimetic design, manufacturing, and control of advanced biorobotics are of great significance in the fields of robotics engineering and materials science.
Compared with traditional robots or mechanical systems, biorobotics have unique advantages, including the safety of human–machine interactions, their adaptability to complex environments, the high dimensional degree of freedom, miniaturization, etc. Such advanced biorobotics and bionic systems play a crucial role in narrow spaces, such as minimally invasive surgery, biological detection, targeted drug delivery, etc.
The Special Issue will present novel ideas and results related to advanced biorobotics or related bionic systems at micro/nano-scale and macro-scale.

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.
