Recent Advances in Autonomous Systems and Robotics, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

To cope with non-programmed or non-preset situations, autonomous technology can use multi-source sensors and complex software to make systems with limited or no communication endure for long periods, and these systems can automatically adjust to an unknown environment, independently complete tasks, and maintain good performance. Autonomous systems and robotics are interdisciplinary fields involving real-time detection, information processing, comprehensive analysis, intelligent judgment, robust control, etc. With the continuous improvement of technical complexity, the possibility of system failure, vulnerability, and overall loss of function will also increase. Most applications still require the combination of human and autonomous systems to complete different tasks, so intelligent and unmanned systems are still challenging in current research.

The aim of this Special Issue is to celebrate the recent advances in autonomous systems and robotics and to promote the exchange and development of modern technologies, methods, and theories. We welcome authors to submit original research papers, perspectives, reviews, and mini-reviews. Areas to be covered in this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, machine vision; machine learning and deep learning; artificial intelligence technology; fault detection and diagnosis; and intelligent robots.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
