Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Historically, the engineering modeling and simulation efforts have concentrated primarily on machines, while the trend is now towards the analysis of the combined human–machine system. Indeed, in different fields of engineering the machines are supporting and cooperating with the humans, e.g., cobotics, while in other fields the machine needs to interact with the human to carry out their purpose, e.g., in automotive steering assistance systems or in rehabilitation systems where the behavior of the machine needs to adapt to the human response. There are even some vehicles, such as bikes and segways, where the human–vehicle interaction significantly affects the stability and safety. There is thus a growing interest in the investigation of the interactions between machines and humans in different fields of engineering.
This Special Issue aims at disseminating the latest research achievements, findings, and ideas in the field man–machine systems dynamics, such as robotics (e.g., collaborative and cooperative robots), dynamic modelling, rehabilitation and ergonomics, human-vehicle interactions and human factors, driver- and rider-assistance-systems, manufacturing systems and industry 4.0.
Papers are welcome on topics that are related to theory, practice, and applications of man–machine systems dynamics.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
