Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although cable-driven robots have been in use since the 1980s, their unique structure and performance have driven researchers and developers in the scientific community to continuously explore their capabilities. Indeed, the recent development of continuum robots, soft robots, and underactuated robots proves the interest of the scientific community on this topic. Moreover, the use of cables leads to lightweight designs with significant payloads, which fares well with the sustainability aim of Industry 5.0. On the other hand, the unilateral nature of cables, i.e., their ability to pull but not to push, requires properly designed controllers to ensure that all the cables are taut during operation.
For these reasons, we are pleased to invite you to submit a paper for a Special Issue, titled “Advances in Cable Driven Robotic Systems”. This Special Issue aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to publish technological studies and advancements addressing the design and development of applications for cable-driven robots.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers that are related to theory, design, practice, and applications cable-driven robots, including, but not limited to, the following fields:
- Synthesis and innovative designs of cable-driven robots;
- Kinematic calibration;
- Kinematic analysis of soft robots;
- Cable-driven rehabilitation robots;
- Cable failure detection and end-effector recovery strategies;
- Modeling of elastic cables;
- Dynamics of robots and multi-body systems;
- Robot performance evaluation and optimization;
- Innovative applications of cable robots, such as construction, robotic machining, rescue operation.

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.
