Daniela Lopez de Luise The open access journal Machines (ISSN 2075-1702, IF 2.6) is pleased to
announce that we have launched a new Special Issue entitled “Advanced Control
and Path Planning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)”. I am serving as Guest
Editor for this issue.
Given the depth of your expertise in this field, I would like to cordially
invite you to contribute a manuscript to the Special Issue. For more
information, please visit the Special Issue website at:
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/machines/special_issues/7ZS283VVX8
Papers may be submitted from now until 15 February 2024 as papers will be
published on an ongoing basis if accepted for publication following peer
review. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication
elsewhere. Authors are also encouraged to send a short abstract or tentative
title to the Editorial Office in advance (camille.wang@mdpi.com).
Machines is fully open access. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first
decision is provided to authors approximately 15 days after submission. An
article processing charge (APC) of 2400 CHF currently applies to all papers
accepted after peer review. You may be entitled to a discount code if you
previously reviewed for MDPI or if your institution is a participating member
in MDPI’s Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP).
I hope that this invitation receives your favorable consideration and I look
forward to our future collaboration.
Kind regards,
Giuseppe Silano, on the behalf of the organizers
