Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancement of technology, embodied intelligence-based robots are profoundly transforming the future of the healthcare industry. Sensor technology, as the core driving force, endows medical robots with more sensitive perception capabilities, enabling them to demonstrate great potential in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Sensor-driven medical robots, equipped with precise perception and efficient data processing capabilities, can achieve more accurate surgical operations, more efficient disease monitoring, and more personalized rehabilitation plans, thereby providing strong support for the intelligent development of healthcare.
This Special Issue focuses on innovative technologies of sensor-driven medical robots and their applications in medical practice, aiming to explore how these technologies reshape healthcare service models and address emerging challenges. We hope to accelerate the translation of intelligent robot technology from the laboratory to clinical applications through interdisciplinary communication and cooperation.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sensor-driven medical robots.
- Embodied intelligence-based medical robots.
- Real-time data processing and feedback mechanisms.
- Human–robot interaction in medical settings.
- Clinical applications of sensor-enhanced robotic systems.
- Safety analysis and control strategies for medical robots.
- AI algorithms for medical robots.
- Robotic-assisted surgical planning.
- Sensor fusion for medical robots.
- Immersive teleoperation.
- Medical image computing.
- Surgical navigation.
- Image-guided interventions.
- VR/AR/MR technologies in medicine.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
