<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black;">In recent years, the number of research groups around the world working on innovative actuation systems (e.g., soft/compliant robots, reconfigurable systems) and multi-modal sensor
systems (e.g., tactile, proximity, inertial, vision) is continuously growing. This focused section will be a stage for researchers, engineering, and industrial practitioners to propose novel mechatronics solutions integrated into robotic system that are capable
of autonomously executing tasks typically hazardous, dirty, and boring for humans, or into human-centric solutions where the robot supports the human in complex tasks. To reach this objective,
<i>novel actuation and multi-modal sensor systems</i>, with functionalities and features
<i>also beyond human capabilities</i>, will play a fundamental role in a range of innovative applications in key sectors, from service to production, from healthcare to domestic use. Furthermore, these solutions must be able to guarantee the responsiveness,
intelligibility, and adaptability necessary for natural human-robot, as well as robot-robot, collaboration and interaction. The close interaction between actuation and sensing also allows the implementation of algorithms for quick detection and response to
failures in different embodiments of mechatronics systems. In this direction also move several players (e.g., EU Commission and single countries) by funding new research and innovation projects and opening calls for new proposals. Particular focus shall be
placed on multidisciplinary methodological frameworks, hardware development for real-world applications and out-of-lab experiments. Manuscripts should contain both theoretical and experimental results and they will be subject to the normal TMECH review procedures.
