Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soft robotic systems, combining the flexibility and adaptability of soft materials with the versatility of robots, are revolutionizing various fields, including biomedical engineering, manufacturing, and exploration. In recent years, significant advancements in sensor technologies have propelled the development and application of soft robotic systems, offering enhanced capabilities in sensing, interaction, and adaptability.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest innovations, applications, and challenges in advanced sensors technologies for soft robotic systems. The integration of cutting-edge sensors with soft robots offers the realization of precise control, environmental interaction, and intelligent decision-making in dynamic and unstructured environments.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts that address a range of topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Soft sensors and actuators;
- Tactile and haptic sensing;
- Flexible and stretchable electronics;
- Bio-inspired sensor systems;
- Environmental sensing;
- Sensor integration and fusion;
- Real-time data processing and feedback;
- Applications in biomedical engineering, industry, and beyond.

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.
