Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent robotics and human–robot interaction (HRI) are rapidly evolving fields that rely heavily on advanced sensing technologies to perceive, interpret, and adapt to dynamic environments. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements in sensor design, sensor fusion, signal processing, and AI-driven perception systems that enable robots to interact intelligently with humans and their surroundings. We welcome original research and review articles that address challenges in real-time data acquisition, multi-modal sensing integration, wearable and bio-inspired sensors, safety in HRI, and context-aware robotic behaviors. Contributions that bridge the gap between hardware innovations and software intelligence for next-generation robotics are particularly encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Hang Su

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.
