Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proposed Special Issue, entitled “Pushing Boundaries: Innovations in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Extended Reality”, aims to delve into the cutting-edge advancements and transformative applications within these domains. Robotics has undergone a significant evolution, leading to smarter, adaptive systems that surpass conventional functionalities. Concurrently, the integration of Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized the perception, learning, and interaction of machines with their environments. Additionally, Extended Reality technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), have redefined human–machine interaction, enabling immersive, multisensory experiences.
This compilation of research articles and contributions aims to explore the convergence of Robotics, AI, and Extended Reality. It intends to unveil breakthroughs in autonomous systems, cognitive computing, human–robot collaboration, and immersive environments. This Special Issue aims to elucidate the novel methodologies, applications, and future trajectories propelling these fields toward unprecedented frontiers.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of this expansive field of research, appealing to a diverse audience in robotics, artificial intelligence, control systems, extended reality, data analytics, and societal, industrial, and educational domains. Hence, we welcome submissions exploring various topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Artificial Intelligence: Advancements, methodologies, and applications in AI.
- Robotic Systems in Stochastic Production Environments: Study of robotic systems operating in unpredictable manufacturing conditions.
- Human–Robot Interaction: Examination of interactions between humans and robots, exploring collaboration and usability.
- Real-time (or near) Execution of Digital Twins: Utilization of real-time digital replicas for predictive analytics and optimization.
- Collaborative Robotic Systems Implementation: Implementing systems where robots work alongside humans effectively.
- Integration of Simulation with Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality Applications: Merging simulation techniques with immersive reality applications.
- Real-time Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality in Industrial Manufacturing: Application of real-time immersive technologies in industrial settings.
- Artificial Intelligence for Decision Support in Production and Logistics: AI-driven decision-making aids in manufacturing and supply chain logistics.
- Verification and Validation of Digital Twins: Processes ensuring the accuracy and reliability of digital models.
- Robot Feedback Control: Mechanisms and techniques for robot control and responsiveness.
- Metaverses: Exploration and implications of metaverse technologies in these domains.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
