Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of sensor technologies has created unprecedented opportunities for intelligent systems that can process and integrate information from multiple sensing modalities to enable sophisticated decision-making processes. Modern applications across healthcare, manufacturing, autonomous systems, smart cities, and industrial automation increasingly rely on the fusion of diverse sensor data streams to achieve robust, accurate, and context-aware decisions that surpass the capabilities of single-modal approaches.
This Special Issue explores cutting-edge developments in advanced sensor technologies specifically designed for multimodal decision-making systems. We seek contributions that address the integration of heterogeneous sensor data, real-time processing architectures, and intelligent fusion algorithms that enable autonomous and semi-autonomous systems to make informed decisions in complex environments.
We welcome original research and review articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Multimodal sensor fusion algorithms and architectures;
- Advanced sensing technologies for autonomous systems and robotics;
- Advanced sensing technologies for healthcare systems;
- Advanced sensing technologies for smart city systems;
- AI-driven sensor data interpretation and pattern recognition;
- Adaptive and self-calibrating sensor systems.
We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute innovative solutions that advance the field of sensor-based intelligent systems and their practical deployment in real-world 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 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.
