Feature Review Papers in Sensors and Robotics

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this forthcoming Special Issue, entitled “Feature Review Papers in Sensors and Robotics”, which aims to assemble authoritative surveys that span the rich landscape of sensing technologies and their integration within robotic systems. In recent years, advances in materials, computation, and algorithms have transformed sensors from mere data collectors into active enablers of autonomy, perception, and interaction. This Special Issue aims to highlight critical developments, synthesize state-of-the-art methodologies, and identify the most pressing challenges and opportunities for future research. (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/sections/robotics).

We welcome all researchers from the following fields to contribute review papers that highlight the latest developments in their research field or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Robotic Platforms:
• Industrial, medical, service, soft, collaborative, aerial, and underwater systems.
• Sensor Modalities and Fusion:
• Vision, lidar, tactile, ultrasonic, wearable/implantable, and other emerging sensors;
• Theory, methodology, and practice of sensor in robotics;
• Design, development, and evaluation of sensing systems and components used in generating, acquiring, conditioning, and processing signals.
• Data Integration and Intelligence:
• Analysis, representation, display, and preservation of the information obtained from a set of sensors;
• Multimodal sensor fusion; sensor networks; AI-driven interpretation; brain–computer interfaces; and embodied intelligence.
• Prediction and Estimation:
• Filtering technologies; robust and adaptive algorithm; nonlinear and non-Gaussian analysis; system identification method
• Perception and Autonomy:
• Visual SLAM; mapping; and navigation and localization;
• Teleoperation; swarm coordination; and autonomous decision-making.
• Complex Systems:
• Sensing, characterization, modeling, control, and automation of next-generation robotic systems.

Scientific and Technical Support for the establishment and maintenance of technical standards.

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.
