Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in wearable sensor technologies have revolutionized the way we monitor and analyse human movement, enabling breakthroughs across various domains, including healthcare, sports, human–computer interaction, and robotics. Wearable sensors, such as inertial measurement units (IMUs), tactile sensors, optical sensors, and biosensors, have become essential tools for tracking human position, attitude, and motion, with their high precision, portability, and real-time capabilities. These technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for personalized monitoring, rehabilitation, and performance optimization in dynamic and diverse environments.
This Special Issue of Electronics focuses on the design, implementation, and applications of wearable sensor systems for human position, attitude, and motion tracking. It seeks to highlight cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary approaches to addressing challenges in sensor design, data processing, and integration.

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.
