Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of our journal focused on the latest advancements in control strategies for robot applications. In recent years, robotic platforms have found significant utility across a wide range of fields including military, industrial, constructional, agricultural, medical, and space. This can be attributed to the continuous development of sensors and actuators, as well as the remarkable progress in computing power. These robotic platforms are increasingly required to undertake complex and collaborative missions in uncertain, dangerous, and extreme environments. To meet these challenges and ensure high levels of performance, it is essential for control systems in robots to provide reliable, robust, efficient, and intelligent solutions.
The aim of this Special Issue is to foster discussions on state-of-the-art control strategies for robot applications. We invite researchers to submit their original research articles and reviews on a broad range of topics related to this theme. Some of the areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) in robotics;
- Multi-robot system operations and networked control system for collaborative tasks;
- Collision-free dynamic path planning in uncertain environments;
- Fault-tolerant control system design;
- Mechanical, electrical, and computer programming aspects for robot control;
- Perception, processing, and action as well as cybernetics for cyber-physical systems;
- Real-time computing;
- Advanced sensor fusion and control techniques, including adaptive control, model predictive control (MPC), and artificial intelligence (AI)-based control.
We eagerly anticipate your contributions to this Special Issue. By sharing your expertise and research findings, we can collectively advance the field of robot control and foster innovation in this rapidly evolving domain.

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. Electronics 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.
