Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible intelligent sensors display their advantages over traditional sensors and transistors when acquiring, storing, and calculating information. For applications related to the realization of precise tactile sensation on humanoid robots or health monitoring using skin or organ tissue, flexible intelligent sensors have the power to significantly enhance smart sensing functions and reduce the dimension of devices within a limited space. Recent developments in novel sensing mechanisms, advanced materials, smart algorithms, and special fabrication technology have further advanced the development of flexible intelligent sensors, showing the potential for smarter, more integrated, and higher-performance sensors in various contexts, including disease diagnosis, robot precise manipulation, and human/machine long-term health monitoring. This Special Issue aims to gather innovative and high-impact works related to flexible intelligent sensors, with a particular focus on technical advancements and recent developments. We welcome scholars to contribute research papers, review articles, and perspectives that address the following topics:
- Functional sensing materials;
- Novel sensing mechanisms;
- AI algorithms for sensors;
- Flexible intelligent/integrated sensors;
- Advanced sensing designs, architectures, devices, and instruments;
- Hybrid or nano/microfabrication;
- Flexible electronics;
- Advanced 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
