Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is addressed to researchers working in robotics and neurodynamics who want to give focus to their new and advanced results in the field of biorobotics. Topics of interest cover mechanical systems for both biorobotics and the electronics devices configured to control the systems. The aim of this Special Issue is also to discuss the main aspects of bioinspired micro and nanorobotics. The main features of bioinspired systems are based on locomotion paradigms and aspects regarding sensing and perception. Furthermore, researchers working in the specific area of biosystems are also encouraged to contribute. Advanced perspectives of new ideas arising from living systems will be another subject of this Special Issue, such as biorobots inspired by plants, not only in relation to animal locomotion and perception but also conceiving robots based on plant behavior. The cooperative behavior of robots inspired by natural organisms is also a topic that potential papers may cover. Therefore, the social behavior of complex networks of robots is of interest to this SI. This Special Issue also seeks to explore particular applications in the area of industrial plants and service robots for rehabilitation and medical applications, with the aim of creating a forum to present the various advantages of biorobotics and new systems. Through this Special Issue, we hope to bring together scientists from many areas of research who can propose new projects in an open consortium of interdisciplinary fields in biorobotics. The ethical aspects will also be addressed by discussing sustainability and green technology for energy saving.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
