Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of control and navigation algorithms is the focus of a significant amount of current research works in the field of ground and aerial robotics. Aerial robotics is one of the fastest growing contemporary industries, with constantly emerging new applications. It is to be noted that an important characteristic of the current design approaches to automated systems is that they lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision, navigation, path planning and robotics.
This Special Issue on the modelling, control and navigation of UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) aims to address the topic by collecting contributions from researchers from across the globe. By sharing goals, visions and results within the community, we will richen and stimulate the areas of inquiry focusing on the modelling, control and navigation of ground and aerial robots. The goal is also to emphasize the computational methods of programming control and navigation algorithms for robots (UGVs and UAVs), rather than methods of hardware construction.
We believe that such a collection of papers will serve as a valuable source of ideas to those who work in the research and development of control and navigation algorithms for various robots and unmanned vehicles.
Papers presenting different approaches from nonlinear control theory applied to trajectory tracking control and navigation of robots, as well as various robot control systems, are welcome.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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 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.
