Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bionic technology has been successfully used to enhance human capabilities and improve the quality of life of disabled people. Recent advances in robotics, mechatronics, data science, soft robotics, neuroscience, photonics, and electronics have paved the way for a new generation of robotic prostheses and exoskeletons. However, the development of wearable robots is highly challenging. These systems should be lightweight and powerful enough to replace or support the limbs and capable of safely interacting with the user physically and cognitively.
For this Special Issue, entitled “Bionic Technology—Robotic Exoskeletons and Prostheses”, we call for contributions from researchers in the field of biomechatronics that cover design and control, exoskeletons, prostheses, physical and cognitive user–robot interaction in wearable robots, and medical robots and bionic devices, among other relevant topics.

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. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
