Aims and Scope
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.

2021.03.23 Assignment of manuscript code and review within a week;
2021.07.12 Feedback received, major revisions requested, with one month given for revisions;
2021.07.26 Revisions completed, resubmitted to the system, review received after a week;

The work was on robot control, and the entire process went relatively smoothly. Although there was a major revision during the first review, there were only 2 reviewers, and the second reviewer had no comments and approved it directly. The first reviewer had more comments, so after receiving the feedback, I thought there would be minor revisions, but I was informed directly that it was accepted. The reviewer's comments were quite professional, covering theoretical and experimental aspects, addressing issues that are of concern in the field. I made thorough revisions and provided positive responses, which resulted in good feedback and helped improve the quality of my paper.
