Research scope, submission steps, deadlines, and publication information for HMDS 2027 contributors.
Scope
Research topics
We welcome theory, simulation, experiments, and applications. The common thread should be interaction across domains, not only work inside a single component.
Robotics and Autonomy
- Robotics in complex environments
- Cyber-physical systems and IoT
- Autonomous systems and AI
- Swarm intelligence
- Digital twins
- Cross-platform deployment
Design and Applications
- Modeling, simulation and design
- Human-machine interfaces
- Energy management
- Biomechanical and bio-hybrid systems
- Medical mechatronics
- Standardization and emerging technologies
- Engineering education and IFToMM pedagogy
Submission workflow
Prepare your contribution
The review starts with a short contribution so the committee can check scope and fit before inviting selected authors to prepare a full paper.
1. Initial abstract
Submit a two-page abstract using the conference template. Authors may state a preference for oral or poster presentation.

Publication opportunities
Springer Mechanisms and Machine Science
HMDS 2027 full-paper proceedings will be published in Springer's Mechanisms and Machine Science series — a Scopus- and Ei-Compendex-listed book series. Published chapters receive a DOI, and volumes carry an ISBN. Publication is free of charge for authors.
Full papers must be minimum 6 pages (8–10 pages recommended; longer papers welcome). Source files (LaTeX or Word) are required for final submission. Use the official Springer templates available in the Submission section above.
