Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in technology have led to the application of various sensors in mobile robots. The effective use of the information provided by these sensors requires sophisticated algorithms.
Intelligent sensor systems in mobile robotics can be used in various areas, such as localization, the detection and classification of objects, control, etc.
Developing real-time algorithms for mobile robots is a challenging task, especially today, as the focus has shifted toward distributed systems where algorithms run on robots' embedded hardware.
The aim of this Special Issue is to invite high-quality research papers and up-to-date reviews that address challenging topics on intelligent sensor systems for mobile robots. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Robot sensors and sensor networks;
- Pattern-recognition-based solutions;
- Sensor fusion and perception;
- Sensor calibration and pre-processing of signals;
- Signal and image analysis, feature extraction, and feature selection methods;
- Machine learning and decision-making and classification methods;
- Sensory-based robot control and learning;
- Navigation, localization, and SLAM;
- Human–robot interactions;
- Robotic vision, recognition, and reconstruction;
- Implementation of algorithms on embedded systems.

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.
