Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in compact, low-cost, and low-power sensors, such as MEMS, GPS, RFID, and BLE, have revolutionized smart devices, enabling new applications in navigation, robotics, and medical systems. These applications require robust state estimation and sensor fusion to mitigate noise, disturbances, and uncertainties.
Traditional methods like the Kalman filter often struggle in these complex environments, prompting the development of advanced recursive algorithms, such as unbiased FIR (UFIR), sigma point filters, and hybrid models that combine model-driven and AI-based approaches. These improvements are crucial for optimizing performance in industrial and harsh environments.
This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers and engineers to explore innovative suboptimal and robust filtering solutions, with a focus on practical algorithms for microsystems and robotics. Topics include the following:
- Model- and data-driven state estimators: Kalman, Bayesian, and AI-assisted filters.
- Multi-sensor fusion techniques.
- Performance analysis of state estimators.
- Applications in robotics, navigation, wearable devices, and autonomous systems.
We welcome theoretical and applied research addressing state estimation, sensor fusion, and control algorithms in microsystems. All manuscripts will undergo peer review.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
