Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Motor/hydraulic actuators play an important role in high-performance electromechanical servo control. However, the existing modeling uncertainties will reduce the system control performance or even cause the whole closed-loop system to become unstable. It should be noted that these uncertainties can be subdivided into endogenous uncertainties associated with the system states and exogenous uncertainties with regard to external disturbances. More importantly, these uncertainties are not only smooth but also nonsmooth. Furthermore, measurement noises, input saturation, and other factors can also affect the resulting control performance of the system. Overall, the modeling uncertainties, which not only come from diverse sources but also have complex forms, always inevitably exist in all electromechanical servo plants, enabling the closed-loop controller design become difficult and hindering the development of these systems towards high control performance. Therefore, how to reject these uncertainties to improve the system control performance is of great significance. Additionally, other control methods such as prescribed performance control, preset time control, state constraint control, input constraint control, event-triggered control, optimal control, and so on play a significant role in satisfying the system control requirements. This Special Issue warmly welcomes all research work related to motor/hydraulic actuator-based electromechanical servo control.

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. Actuators 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.
