Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human activity recognition plays a key role in the development of intelligent technologies applied to connected health, rehabilitation, sports monitoring, assistive systems, and domestic robotics. The emergence of wearable sensors and embedded vision systems enables continuous and non-intrusive analysis of human behavior in real-world conditions. However, activity variability, sensor noise, energy constraints, context changes, and privacy concerns pose major challenges to achieving robust and reliable recognition.
This Special Issue aims to gather contributions from academia and industry showcasing recent advances in wearable sensing, computer vision, multimodal fusion, and deep learning for human activity recognition in daily life. It will offer a platform for innovative research, systematic reviews, and application-oriented studies addressing real-world recognition, privacy preservation, personalization, interpretability, and anomaly detection. The objective is to foster the development of efficient, explainable, and adaptable systems suitable for diverse everyday scenarios.

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.
