Mobile Robots: Navigation, Control and Sensing—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Navigation is one of the main challenges faced in robotics. Different technologies and strategies are involved, such as sensing, positioning, mapping, approaching, tracking, formation, control, communication, human interface, learning, etc.

The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute state-of-the-art research and present current applications of robot navigation. The Guest Editors invite papers related to the following topics, but the list is non-exhaustive, as follows:

1. Development of robotics and sensors designed to be utilized within any radiological environment.
2. Perception and stand-alone and cooperative approaches; SLAM.
3. Map-based, landmark-based, and beacon-based navigation (2D and 3D).
4. Data fusion for mobile robot navigation.
5. Wireless sensor networks for mobile robot navigation.
6. Network control systems.
7. Robot formation and tracking.
8. Adaptive robot navigation and control.
9. Biologically inspired robot navigation.
10. Path planning.
11. Applications of mobile robot navigation.
12. Genetic algorithm for mobile robot navigation.
13. Tracking algorithms.

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.
