Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of robot technology has led to its wide application in the medical field, and, due to its desirable features of accuracy, versatility, repeatability and intelligence, medical care and fundamental investigations in the fields of medicine and life science have made significant progress in recent decades. Exoskeletons enable the fast rehabilitation of patients with impaired motor function, as the prosthetic technology gives amputees the possibility to return to normal life. Robotic surgical systems enable people in remote areas to benefit from high-quality medical services through teleoperation technology, and intelligent elderly care robots alleviate the problem of population aging to a certain extent. Additionally, high-performance sensors make it possible for us to deepen the understanding of life, as high-resolution medical imaging equipment and artificial intelligence diagnosis technology can assist doctors in proposing more effective treatment plans. However, in order to further enhance the role of robotics in the medical field, there are still many key issues that need to be solved: human–machine interaction, human motion intention recognition, human motion replication, artificial organs, imaging technology, artificial intelligence, etc. Since the application of robotics in the medical field has received extensive attention from specialists around the world, we are launching this Special Issue, entitled “Robotics in Medical Engineering”, which welcomes original research articles, reviews and short communications including, but not limited to, the abovementioned topics.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
