Sensors for Smart Environments
This special issue belongs to the section "Intelligent Sensors".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensor technology in smart environments (Sensors for Smart Environments), which means intelligent detection and information acquisition in various environments, is a core, cutting-edge technology that is leading the 4th industrial revolution—for example, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence robots, IoT sensors, and so on. Additionally, it is regarded as one of the most important techniques for safe daily life with the emergence of the corona pandemic. Sensors for smart environments include a sensing technology that detects the characteristics of an object or person with remote or contact devices, a wireless data transmitting/receiving technology that transmits the information obtained from environments, and energy harvesting/wireless power transmission technologies for continuous monitoring in various environments. This Special Issue covers a wide range of technology categories across all fields of electronics, such as sensing techniques and devices, including temperature, pressure, gas, velocity, distance, displacement, motions, and vital signs, sensor implementation using integrated circuits and miniaturized modules, and up-to-date algorithms and modeling for signal conditioning and data acquisition and processing. Al-assisted sensing, control, and analysis techniques for various environments are also included in this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
