Soft Sensors for Motion Capture and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The current sensing devices for human motion capture (e.g., inertial devices, goniometers, etc.) are based on solid-state components and are not suitable for adapting to the deformable nature of the human body. Conversely, soft sensors are unobtrusive, compliant, and lightweight devices that have the potential to enable innovative mobile health applications. Examples of such technologies are e-textiles and flexible/stretchable devices (capacitive, piezoresistive, and piezoelectric) that have been employed for on-body, unobtrusive, and ambulatory motion capture and analysis. These technologies have the potential to enable daily life monitoring systems and wearable devices for a wide range of applications.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers in the field of soft sensors for human motion capture and analysis, to share their ideas and conceptual approaches, and to examine the recent advances in this field in depth, addressing innovating solutions, paradigms, and emerging issues.

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.
