Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the impact of environmental factors on the performance and control of mobile robotic systems. As mobile robots are increasingly used in dynamic and unstructured environments, accurately sensing and responding to environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, wind, and obstacle characteristics is critical for reliable operation. This collection emphasizes advanced sensor technologies, adaptive control mechanisms, and machine learning approaches that improve sensor accuracy and system performance in such challenging environments.
The scope of this Special Issue covers innovations in environmental sensing, the development of models to account for environmental influences on sensor data, and the integration of IoT and AI to enhance environmental awareness in mobile robotics. It welcomes contributions on both hardware and software solutions, experimental studies, and real-world applications across various industries including agriculture, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and disaster response.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bridge the knowledge gap by presenting novel research on how environmental factors affect robotic sensors and systems. It aims to push the boundaries of sensor calibration, environmental modeling, and adaptive control, offering solutions that supplement the existing literature. This collection will provide fresh insights into overcoming environmental challenges, thus supporting the next generation of mobile robotic systems that operate effectively in unpredictable environments.

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.
