Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobile robots are an emerging class of machines with the versatility and adaptability required to introduce enabling technologies in industries and the reliability of operation needed in challenging environments. However, robots must still overcome challenges related to autonomy, perception, intelligent behaviors, obstacle avoidance, environment description, coordination and cooperation, and localization.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality works discussing recent advances in all kinds of mobile robots (ground, aerial, marine, and submarine) in terms of novel technologies, applications, behaviors, and concepts. Papers on one or more of the following subjects, or other related topics, are especially welcome:
- Multirobot and multiagent systems, cooperation and collaboration;
- Planning, reasoning, communication, adaptation, and learning;
- Self-localization, mapping, and navigation;
- Autonomy, intelligent behaviors, evolutionary and bio-inspired robotics;
- Navigation in real environments and complex scenarios;
- Mechanical design and advanced topologies;
- Robust techniques of environment perception;
- Industrial and agriculture applications of mobile 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. Machines 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 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.
