Dear Colleagues, Robotics is currently running a Special Issue entitled "Recent Advances on Physical Agents". Dr. José Antonio Iglesias Martínez, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Angel García-Olaya, Dr. Raquel Fuentetaja, Dr. German Gutierrez and Dr. M. Paz Sesmero, all of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, are serving as Guest Editors for this issue. We would like to invite you to prepare a research article or a comprehensive review to be published in this special issue.
This Special Issue aims to introduce the latest research progress in the field of physical agents. We encourage submissions of conceptual, empirical, and literature review papers focused on agents in physical environments, especially applied to the control and coordination of autonomous systems: Robots, mobile robots, industrial processes, or complex systems. Different types of approaches related to this field are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): physical agents software agents multiagent systems domotic agents and applications smart-sensors networks human-robot interaction robotic manipulators robocup and soccer robots mobile robots autonomous and semi-autonomous robots cooperating robots machine learning and robotics industrial robotics applied intelligent robotic systems computer vision and robotics SLAM AI and robotics For further reading, please follow the link to the Special Issue Website at: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/robotics/special_issues/RAPA. The submission deadline is 22 February 2019. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in advance (elsie.z...@mdpi.com). From Volume 6, all published papers will be added in Scopus. The journal is also indexed in Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), as part of the ESCI database. Robotics is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of CHF 350 currently applies to all accepted papers. You may be entitled to a discount if you have previously received a discount code or if your institute is participating in the MDPI Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP), for more information see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/ioap. For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/robotics/instructions). We look forward to hearing from you.
