Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Inspired by nature and biology, bioinspired robotics focuses on the novel design and control of robots. These robots include humanoid robots, crawling robots, jumping robots, modular robots, legged robots, flying robots, swimming robots, cobots, and climbing robots. Most of these robots have some locomotion system, and they often learn from nature. To contribute to this area extensive research has been conducted on biosensors, actuators, artificial muscles, biomaterials, bio-inspired control, artificial intelligence, adaptive learning, control using biological signals such as EMG and EEG, anthropomorphic design of robots, motion planning, vision-based control, autonomous navigation/control, and intelligent control. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research contributions in bioinspired robotics, focusing on the novel design and control of bioinspired robots in different application settings/environments, including home/clinical use, industry, search and rescue, underwater, space, and military applications.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
