Dear Colleagues,
Mathematically speaking, robot dynamics are represented by systems of highly coupled nonlinear differential equations. While these dynamics can be linearized under restrictive assumptions of exact or partial model knowledge, most practical robot control designs end up with nonlinear closed-loop dynamics. Adaptive control, which includes neural network/learning-based control designs, particularly necessitates the application of nonlinear control systems analysis techniques. In this Special Issue, we would like to focus on emerging techniques in the adaptive and nonlinear control of robotics, as they apply to novel control problems and state-of-the-art robot configurations/designs.

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. Robotics 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 1800 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.
