Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing complexity of modern industrial processes and energy systems, fuzzy control systems and intelligent control methods have become essential tools for addressing nonlinearities, disturbances, and time delays. By combining fuzzy logic, neural networks (NNs), and iterative learning control (ILC), these approaches enable innovative control strategies that significantly improve performance, stability, and energy efficiency across diverse applications. This Special Issue aims to gather pioneering research on both theoretical developments and practical implementations of these advanced control techniques, pushing the frontiers of intelligent control design in complex systems.
This Special Issue on “New Trends in Fuzzy Control System Applications in Complex Industrial Processes and Energy Systems” seeks high quality research focusing on the latest novel advances fuzzy/NN/ILC intelligent control and other nonlinear control methods for both theoretical analysis and practical applications. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Intelligent control for nonlinear systems with time delay, disturbances, and a predetermined performance index for energy saving;
- Finite time/fixed time fuzzy control/NN control/ ILC/ model-free control design for the motion control of several different types of robotics, such as USV, AUV, UAV, WMR, Table Tennis Robot, Inspection robot, and so on;
- Distributed control/formation control/leader–follower tracking control design with fuzzy rule for nonlinear systems;
- New LLM/video data/image processing technology, algorithm design, applications and modeling.

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. Processes 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.
