*Deadline*: *31 December 2020*

Industrial robots represent one of the key drivers of Industry 4.0. In 
recent years, they have significantly evolved, becoming more productive, 
agile, safer, and collaborative. In this context, numerous approaches 
and technological innovations have been introduced in this domain to 
tackle diverse problems and challenges in a variety of industries and 
applications.

The goal of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art 
contributions on industrial robot technology and present innovative 
developments, methodologies, and trends in research and real-world 
applications.

This Special Issue will highlight advances in the following areas but is 
not limited to them:

     Design and modelling of robotic systems;
     Robot kinematics/dynamics/control;
     AI technologies;
     Human–robot interactions;
     Cooperative robots;
     Flexible grippers and tactile sensing;
     Robot vision;
     Motion planning and optimization;
     Experimental evaluation and benchmarking;
     Robotic applications.

If you decide to contribute to this Special Issue, please inform us. The 
Editorial Board of Robotics strives to ensure a rigorous and efficient 
peer-review process for all manuscripts, in order to ensure high-quality 
manuscripts are published in a timely manner (if accepted after the
peer-review process).

Robotics provides an advanced forum for studies related to all aspects 
of robotics. It is covered by leading indexing services, including the 
Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI—Web of Science), Scopus(citescore 
1.53), nspec (IET) and DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, and other
databases.

/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 1000
currently applies to all accepted papers.

In case of questions, please contact us at robotics at mdpi.com.
