Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Biological inspiration provides the basis for many aspects of robotics. The resourceful methodologies of biological organisms have been incorporated in the development of many new methodologies, strategies, and algorithms for robotic systems. The novelty and significance of this new research has provided new knowledge to the respective research communities, which could potentially have many civilian and military applications.

The main goal of this Special Issue is to investigate the fundamental theories of bio-inspired robotics methodologies and to report their novel applications in the field of robotics, such as real-time sensing and multi-sensor fusion, real-time intelligent navigation, cooperation of multiple robotic systems, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), real-time collision-free path planning, and tracking and control of the robot.

This Special Issue invites original research and review articles that contribute new knowledge to their respective fields of study. It also aims to provide insights into biologically inspired methodologies that can be applied across various research areas and applications.

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.
