Dear Colleagues,

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science to design, control, and optimize advanced systems. Control engineering plays a crucial role in the design and operation of mechatronic systems, as it enables the precise and efficient control of their various components. However, the application of control engineering in mechatronics is still an active research area, with many challenges and opportunities yet to be explored.

The proposed Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances and challenges in the application of control engineering in mechatronics. The Special Issue will focus on the following topics:

• Advanced control algorithms for mechatronic systems, including model predictive control, adaptive control, and nonlinear control;
• The control of multi-domain systems, such as systems with mechanical, electrical, and thermal domains;
• The control of uncertain systems, including systems with parametric uncertainty, unmodeled dynamics, and nonlinearities;
• The control of networked mechatronic systems, including distributed control, cooperative control, and communication networks;
• Applications of control engineering in mechatronics, including robotics, autonomous systems, and smart manufacturing;
• Applications of control engineering in stationary energy storage systems.

The Special Issue will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of control engineering, mechatronics, robotics, and related fields. The Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances and challenges in the application of control engineering in mechatronics. It will also serve as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field, and will promote further research and development in this area.

The Special Issue invites original research articles, review articles, and case studies. All submissions will be subject to a peer-review process. Submissions should be made through the journal's online submission system.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
