Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Automatized robotic devices (ARDs) are becoming relevant in all aspects of modern society, and biomedical devices are no exception. ARDs have contributed in developing active devices designed to help people to regain their health. As such, the application of ARDs in rehabilitation is now recognized as a principal research area in the field of robotics. Indeed, the field of controlled biomedical robotics is now recognized as an independent discipline in robotics, considering the particular necessities of such classes of robotic configurations including precise motions, force tasks conditions, state restrictions, etc. Formally, biomedical robotics is a field of research centered on understanding and augmenting medical capacities through the application of robotic devices.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the competences of different automatic control areas in order to regulate, adjust or control medical devices designed to contribute to the treatment of diverse pathologies. Particularly encouraged are studies that focus on the application of automatic control tools to solving complex processes in designing, manufacturing, instrumenting, operating and controlling devices designed to contribute to the rehabilitation of pathologies.
Significantly, this Special Issue offers a platform for students, researchers, and other professionals to present work on the development of automatic control solutions within the field of medical robotics, with the hope that this work may have a relevant impact on the real-life applications of biomedical robotics and its related disciplines.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Automatic control in biomedical robotics;
- Robotic rehabilitation including automatic control theories;
- Adaptive and intelligent instrumentation of biomedical robots;
- Soft robotics in medical disciplines;
- Mechanical design of robots in biomedicine;
- Intelligent control of biomedical robots;
- Hybrid adaptive and robust control (position-force and position-impedance) of biomedical robots;
- On-line optimization of biomedical systems;
- Automatic control of biomedical systems with state restrictions;
- Artificial intelligence for neuro robotic feedback;
- Control of infinite dimensional systems with application in biomedical systems;
- Automatic control of imagenology based robotic devices;
- Applications of automatic control systems in pharmacological systems;
- New theoretical results for automatic control systems applied on biomedical systems.

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.
