Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence, wireless connection, automatization, biotechnology, nanotechnology, big data, and autonomous cars are just a taste of what is still ahead of us. It remains, however, difficult to predict what the future will look like after Industry 4.0. Robots and artificial intelligence will change the way we work. By 2030, as many as 800 million workplaces and up to 75% of professions will be affected. Ultimately, robots can replace one fifth of employees hired on a full-time basis. At the same time, investment in new technologies is vital for companies—as many as half of the biggest companies in the world have initiated the implementation of automatization processes with the use of robots. According to various data, a couple of factors are accelerating the development of cognitive technologies and robotics. The first factor is the growing amount of data that companies have to process. Next is the development of the Internet and the capabilities of computing clouds, meaning that companies are more present in the digital sphere. Additionally, emerging machine learning algorithms allow the use of robots in new roles. All this has resulted in increased spending dynamics related to the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the years 2017–2021. This is expected to reach 50%, which would mean spendings of 200 billion dollars altogether. Modern technologies with artificial intelligence are widely used in the processing industry and serve, among other things, to boost efficiency and automatization of production processes, which in turn allows for increased productivity of companies while at the same increasing their competitiveness.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present the latest advances and developments including new systems, tools, methods, and techniques to dedicated the application of manufacturing

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.
