Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vision is one of the most powerful awareness extensions that can be integrated into a system. When coupled with modern intelligent techniques, artificial vision systems achieve far greater robustness and adaptability.
This Special Issue, ‘Intelligent Sensing for Robotic Control and Visual Perception’, will highlight recent advances in sensor technologies and perception algorithms that enable robots to understand and interact with complex, dynamic environments. We seek contributions on novel sensors, multimodal fusion, event-based and vision-based perception, learning-based control, and system-level integration for real-time navigation, manipulation, human–robot interaction, and mixed reality applications. Submissions may include theoretical developments, experimental systems, and application-driven demonstrations that advance robust, adaptive robotic sensing and control.

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. 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.
