Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Cognitive Robotics and Machine Learning" aims to explore the intersection between machine learning techniques and cognitive robotics research. Cognitive robotics focuses on creating intelligent robotic systems that are capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting in dynamic environments. This is a common area leading to progress in robot learning and interactive cognitive robotics. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that address various aspects of machine learning in cognitive robotics, including but not limited to deep learning for perception, reinforcement learning for decision making, cognitive architectures for autonomous agents, human–robot interaction, and ethical considerations in robot learning. By bringing together researchers from both machine learning and robotics fields, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of how machine learning can enhance the cognitive capabilities of robots and pave the way for intelligent, adaptive, and socially aware robotic systems. Authors are encouraged to report real robot experiments or provide convincing evidence that simulation experiments are transferable to real robots.- Machine learning representations in robotics;
- Cognitive robot foundation models and architectures;
- Imitation learning for robotics;
- Reinforcement learning for control and decision making;
- Human–robot interaction and robot instruction;
- Applications of robot learning and cognitive robotics;
- Ethical considerations in cognitive robotics.

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.
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.
