Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous navigation is a core technology for automated and intelligent operations of various types of motion carriers (spacecraft, aircraft, ships, vehicles, pedestrian, robot, etc.). It refers to a navigation method in which a moving carrier only uses the measurement equipment it carries to determine its position, attitude and speed relative to a certain coordinate system in real time without relying on external support. Generally speaking, all navigation methods that do not require external support equipment and can measure themselves or actively obtain external information are forms of autonomous navigation. In recent years, various advanced autonomous navigation methods have been developed, effectively supporting the intelligence and autonomy of various motion carriers and meeting the needs of various navigation application scenarios.
This Special Issue, “Recent Advances in Autonomous Navigation”, invites original research and comprehensive reviews about autonomous navigation, which includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Inertial navigation;
- Vision and lidar navigation;
- Astronomical navigation;
- Geophysical field navigation (magnetic field, gravity field, etc.);
- Bionic navigation;
- Collaborative navigation;
- Integrated navigation;
- Deep-learning-based navigation;
- Brain-inspired navigation;
- Intelligent navigation algorithm;
- Muti-information fusion method;
- SLAM.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
