Application of Advanced Sensors Systems and Artificial Intelligence in Machining

Dear Colleagues,

The current level of Industry 4.0 is characterized by two main technologies—efficient use of new sensors and application of artificial intelligence (AI). This Special Issue deals with single- or multisensor systems used for various machining methods, such as dynamometers, accelerometers, acoustic emission sensors, current and power sensors, image sensors, temperature sensors, ultrasonic sensors, optical sensors, laser sensors, and other sensors. The application of sensor systems can more effectively solve the problems of automation and modeling of technological parameters of the main types of machining, such as turning, milling, drilling and grinding, etc. Such systems are widely used in tool condition monitoring, monitoring of machined surfaces, machine dynamics, etc. In this Special Issue, modern methods of artificial intelligence for the analysis and prediction of data obtained by sensor systems are also considered, such as neural networks, image processing, fuzzy logic, adaptive neurofuzzy inference systems, Bayesian networks, support vector machines, ensembles, decision trees and regression, k-nearest neighbors, Markov models, singular spectral analysis, and genetic algorithms. The possibility of building diagnostic systems of machining processes based on complex sensor systems and their use in conjunction with artificial intelligence create opportunities for the development of efficient and reliable machining processes for Industry 4.0.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers, short communications or state-of-the-art reviews which are within the scope of this Special Issue.

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.
