Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today’s advances in robotics promise to deliver autonomous systems that can work safely along with humans and improve our overall working conditions. Robot and mechatronics applications have rapidly expanded from the industrial environment to human assistance, enhancing the adaptation to surrounding environment. There are many opportunities to integrate engineering concepts into sustainable applications.
This motivates researchers to study, design, and develop novel enabling robotics technologies and methods. The challenge is to transfer the research results and new knowledge to stakeholders, creating a general awareness of the importance of engineering in robot task efficiency, safety and security, machine learning, risk and confidence management, and energy consumption.
The scope of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality research that reports on recent advances and developments in sensing and actuation, designs sustainable robotic applications, and highlights the economic and social implications.

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.
