Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Algorithms and frameworks for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) have received attention in recent years because they are fundamental components for implementing autonomous navigation in unmanned vehicles. Especially, SLAM with multi-robot systems (MRSs) (i.e., multi-robot SLAM or cooperative SLAM (C-SLAM)) has also recently received attention because these techniques have many advantages over single-robot systems such as time efficiency and cost reduction in large unknown environments.
This Special Issue aims to provide broad coverage of recent trends and advances in SLAM with MRSs. Both theoretical and practical works as well as review/survey papers in the area are welcome. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Algorithms and implementation for multi-robot SLAM;
- Algorithms and implementation for multi-robot path planning;
- Algorithms and implementation for multi-robot navigation;
- Algorithms and implementation for multiple map merging;
- Algorithms and implementation for multi-robot cooperation;
- Practical sensor fusion systems for inter-robot recognition;
- Efficient inter-robot collision avoidance;
- Efficient inter-robot communication.

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.
