Call for Papers

​

Biorobotic Locomotion and Cybernetic Control is a special issue of Machines (ISSN 2075-1702). Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI. This special issue belongs to the section "Advanced Manufacturing".

​

This SI welcomes, but is not limited to, contributions from the following topics: Hybrid and multimodal locomotion of crawling, walking, swimming and flying robotics; the analysis and modeling of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and terradynamics for biorobotic motion planning; structures modeling and biomechanics of robot fish, amphibious robots, ornithopters, multilegged and crawling machines; and locomotive functions, such as neuro cybernetic behavioral skills, robotic artificial life, neural sensorimotor tasks, synthetic intelligence, evolutionary robotics and control engineering.
