Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our great honor to organize this Special Issue of Machines, which is an outstanding academic journal focused on Mechanical Engineering and Science.
Mechanisms and robots play increasingly important roles in numerous areas, such as industry, agriculture, and medical treatment. This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality papers investigating the kinematic and dynamic problems of robotic mechanisms. It calls for papers to discuss ideas on the innovation, design, and application of various mechanisms and robots. Potential contributions may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Parallel and hybrid mechanisms;
- Metamorphic mechanisms;
- Deployable mechanisms and origami;
- Compliant mechanisms;
- Robotic systems in machining, manufacturing, and mining;
- Mobile robots, field robots, and agricultural robots.
Your consideration will be appreciated. We look forward to receiving your submissions and will arrange a timely review.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Shuofei Yang
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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.
