Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precise, robust, and reliable position estimation is crucial in achieving higher autonomy levels for mobile robots. The quality of the estimated position, including reliability, self-diagnostics, and data redundancy, has a direct positive impact on the safety of the whole mobile system. This further supports the public acceptance of cutting-edge technologies in robotics and autonomous transportation.
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of challenges related to robot positioning and navigation. These challenges include new sensors, perception and signal processing algorithms, AI-based positioning systems, safety-related sensing, and their implementation in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Review articles and original research papers contributing to the topic of positioning in robotics and autonomous transport are welcome.

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.
