Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world is witnessing a rapid growth of intelligent machines, systems, and pervasive robots in households, industries, education, agriculture, transportation, defense, and security. As a result, there is growing interest in developing integrative solutions that form heterogeneous systems to solve complex problems that vary spatially and in complexity. Heterogeneous systems involve a variety of robots or agents that are physically or functionally different, which coordinate to achieve shared or global mission goals beyond the scope of what an individual agent can achieve in the system. Here, heterogeneity refers to the quality or state of being diverse in character or content.
This Special Issue will present recent advances in intelligent systems and mobile robots with a specific focus on the heterogeneity aspects in the system. Some of the areas of interest include biological systems exploiting heterogeneity, nature-inspired methods in heterogeneous mobile robots, cooperative communication, collaborative control, mission planning for heterogeneous systems, object manipulation using heterogeneity, combined learning from heterogeneous agents, and heterogeneous multirobot systems.
We welcome original research papers that focus on fundamental research and experimental research on the theme of Heterogeneity in Intelligent Robots and Systems. Survey papers or tutorial papers on related topics are also encouraged.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
