Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible tactile sensor refers to a flexible electronic device that is capable of converting external tactile stimuli into detectable electrical signals, showing an increasingly important value in the development of electronic skin. Benefiting from conspicuous merits including high sensitivity, mechanical flexibility, and wearable characteristics, flexible tactile sensors have attracted considerable attention in the fields of personal healthcare, human motion monitoring, human–computer interaction, etc. With the emerging artificial intelligence technology, flexible tactile sensors with only a single tactile information sensing capability cannot meet people’s needs. They are expected to be designed as an intelligent system, combining human intelligence with machine intelligence, so as to better serve human beings in industrial manufacturing, medical health, and social services. In this Special Issue, titled “Applications of Flexible Tactile Sensors in Intelligent Systems”, we focus on the structural design, process manufacturing, and working principle of flexible tactile sensors and demonstrate their application potential in intelligent systems. We hope to promote the development of flexible tactile sensors toward intelligence by combining theoretical research with practical applications.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
