Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robotics and Automation in hazardous environments (e.g., fire, radioactivity, underwater) is a research line that still neddsva big amount of research in order to perform the required operations in a safe and reliable manner. Specially, underwater robotics and automation has significant and specific problems to be solved such as networking, data compression, human-robot interfaces, engineering, control systems, and computer science algorithms, among others. This Special Issue focuses on novel scientific solutions to face real robotics and automation problems in underwater scenarios, and also systems that might have application in underwater systems, having obtained results in related environments, such as fire and radiation, among others.

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.
