Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The upcoming Special Issue on Bioinspired Robotics: Toward Softer, Smarter and Safer aims to explore the cutting-edge advancements in the field, focusing on the development of robots that draw inspiration from nature to achieve softer, smarter, and safer designs. Human–machine interactions can be improved with the use of soft intelligent sensing designed with flexible electronics and processing, and fully symbiotic with soft movement.
By drawing inspiration from the diverse and ingenious mechanisms found in the natural world, researchers are pushing the boundaries of traditional robotics to create more adaptable, intelligent, and secure machines. Contributions from all fields related to the advances in soft bio-robots are welcomed to this Special Issue, including particularly, but not limited to, the following:
- AI based applications for soft bio-robotics;
- Design of soft robots;
- Soft robots perception;
- Evaluation of embodied artificial intelligence;
- Biomimetic modelling;
- Biomechanics and locomotion;
- Bioinspired sensor technologies;
- Human-soft robot interaction;
- Soft bio-robotics for smart medical devices;
- Synthesis and development of new materials for soft robotics.

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.
