Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robotics is a vast topic encompassing interdisciplinary subjects involving robot configuration, manufacture, operation, and services. Robots are becoming increasingly popular in industrial businesses, and it is believed that this preference will never go away, instead growing over time. Artificial intelligence (AI) emulates the human brain and develops intelligent machines capable of conducting processes concerning logic, planning, and knowledge perception with an interleaved set of capabilities, such as invention, emotional skills, and self-awareness.
The fusion of AI and robotics enables the optimisation of systems' level of self-sufficiency, improving accuracy, reliability, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and competitiveness. Improving the performance in interdisciplinary areas allows systems to envision the future, plan tasks or interact with the world. This could be via learning and acquiring knowledge from sophisticated perceptions based on imitation and experience, through exploitation or navigation.
Thus, it is essential to investigate the recent trends and interdisciplinary applications of AI and robotics, continually optimise systems' performance, analyse human–robot interactions, examine independent systems and implementation, and conceptualise systems with practical, theoretical and experimental knowledge approaches.
This Special Issue will be committed to state-of-the-art research on cutting-edge robotics and AI research in interdisciplinary domains, including but not limited to human–robot interactions, its potential service and entertainment applications, smart city strategy and development, sustainability, renewable energy, healthcare, agriculture, automotive, warehousing, and emerging technologies.
We encourage original manuscript submissions with innovative perspectives and advanced thinking on the theme addressed. Research on theories, simulations, experimentation, and engineering applications is encouraged.
Possible topics include but are not limited to the following:
AI & Machine Learning, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, Computer Vision, Machine Leaning, Neural Networks, Expert Systems, Machine Perception, Conversational Natural Language, Convolutional/Deep Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems, Evolutionary Computation, Adaptive Motor Control, Collective Intelligence, Fully/Semi-Autonomous Systems, Cognitive Architecture.

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. Machines 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 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.
