Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there have been notable advancements in immersive technologies, thus broadening the audience and number of applications within the extended reality (XR) domain. This includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), with these technologies demonstrating their exceptional capabilities in supporting telepresence and robot teleoperation.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods, including machine learning and deep learning, have advanced significantly and have become more reliable and exploitable for integrated application in extended reality systems.
Today, the adoption of XR and AI technologies significantly contributes to empowering the application of robotics, enhancing users’ performance, and supporting visualization aspects and the decision-making process in tasks such as tele-observation and teleoperation.
In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of contributions that describe novel approaches to the use of extended reality and artificial intelligence in tasks that empower robots and their applications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- VR/AR/MR for robotic teleoperation;
- Immersive telepresence and systems;
- User interfaces for remote monitoring and intervention;
- 3D Vision and true-dimensional visualization;
- Immersive human–machine interaction;
- Immersive robot navigation and tele-control;
- Medical robotics and VR/AR applications in healthcare
- VR/AR and 3D vision for remote surgery and medical intervention
- Image analysis for teleoperation
- AI-assisted tele-control
- AI-enhanced sensor data for teleoperation
- Creative XR and 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.
