Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
While robotics scientists are moving toward the creation of humanoid robots thought to be able to work alongside humans in human-centric and unstructured environments, industries are faced with even more complex tasks that require important technological advances and, in particular, human-like features in the new generation of robotic systems. Whether they are designed to work with humans, e.g., in homes, schools and hospitals, performing high-level tasks, or designed to replace them in repetitive manufacturing tasks or hazardous and high-risk environments, robots should be able to perceive the external world in order to perform such challenging applications and in order to interact with the external environment in a safe manner.
This Special Issue collects the experience of academic and industrial scientists in order to discuss and present state-of-the-art technologies used to confront the most relevant problems in human–robot interaction application and autonomous object grasping and manipulation.
Potential submission topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Tactile/Force Sensor Technology;
- Vision Sensory Systems;
- Object Recognition;
- Object Grasping and Manipulation;
- Human-Robot Cooperative Systems;
- Human-Robot Interaction Control Algorithm;
- Trajectory Planner Algorithm for Grasping and Unintended Collision Avoidance.

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. Electronics 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.
