Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgical robots have revolutionized medicine by enabling minimally invasive procedures for complex surgeries. Surgical robots improve the dexterity and precision of surgeons and provide augmented images to assist surgeons during surgeries. These benefits have greatly improved minimally invasive procedures, which in turn has greatly benefited patients.
The success of existing surgical robots is driving researchers to develop a new generation that incorporates advanced technologies to meet the further needs of clinical practice. Surgical robots are actively being developed to provide surgeons with advanced eyes, advanced hands, navigation systems to connect them, and artificial intelligence technologies to augment surgeons’ judgments.
This Special Issue seeks to cover a wide range of the latest technologies in surgical robotics, including the design and modeling of surgical/interventional robots, sensing, imaging, motion planning, intelligent control, navigation, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, as well as surgical and diagnostic assistance systems in the operating room or hospital. This Special Issue also welcomes the submission of preclinical and clinical research on related technologies.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
