Editorial Mechatronics and Embedded Systems

With the supports for sustainable development of autonomous and intelligent systems, mechatronics and embedded systems are becoming one hot research area. In this special issue, we select 18 papers among a large number of submissions. The selected papers cover several key technology areas in mechatronics and embedded systems and can be divided into the following six categories. Three papers are related to cutting-edge techniques in robotics. In the paper titled “Path tracking control of a mobile robot by using dual estimation algorithm,” an ovel dual estimation algorithm is proposed to overcome the slip limitations in the path tracking control of skid-steered mobile robots. In the paper titled “Self-assembling for swarm modular
