Versatile Intelligent Portable Sensors for Mechatronic Autonomous Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This SI aims to present new trends in the design, control, and applications of real-time intelligent sensor system control using advanced intelligent control methods and Versatile intelligent portable (VIP) techniques for mechatronic autonomous systems (MASs). Thus, we welcome the submission of original research and review papers that report recent advancements in intelligent control using intelligent sensors, particularly submissions related to the integration of innovative multisensor fusion techniques in MASs, including robot systems, which combine computer vision, virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR), intelligent communication (e.g., remote control), adaptive sensor networks, and intelligent decision support systems (IDSSs, e.g., remote sensing) and their integration with DSS, such as GA-based DSS, fuzzy-set DSS, rough-set-based DSS, intelligent agent-assisted DSS, process mining integration for decision support, adaptive DSS, computer vision-based DSS, sensory and robotic DSS, human–robot (H2R) interaction systems, and machine-to-machine (M2M) interfaces. This is an extension of previously published Special Issues of the Sensors journal: “Advanced Intelligent Control through Versatile Intelligent Portable Platforms” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/advanced_intelligent_control) and “Advanced Intelligent Control in Robots” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/Control_Robots).

We also invite authors to submit papers related to the utilization of new technologies with advanced intelligent control that apply complex MASs, such as enhanced IoT technologies and applications in the 5G densification era, bio-inspired techniques for future manufacturing enterprise control, cyber–physical system approach to cognitive enterprise, development of the IT Industry 4.0 concept, industrial systems in the digital age, cloud computing, robotics and automation with applications such as human aid mechatronics, military applications, rescue robots, firefighting robots, rehabilitation robots, robot-assisted surgery, and domestic robots, with a focus on mechatronic autonomous 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 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.
