Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multi-sensor resilient fusion sensing, positioning, and navigation technology is the core and key technology to realizing the autonomy and intelligence of unmanned systems, and it has broad application prospects in the fields of intelligent robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, automatic driving, intelligent transportation, and deep space and deep earth exploration. The technology integrates advanced technologies and theories such as sensors, information fusion, artificial intelligence, and optimal estimation, as well as employing a resilient fusion of sensor information from different physical principles such as Inertial Measurement Unit（IMU, GNSS, magnetometer, wheel speed meter, camera, and Lidar to obtain more accurate, continuous, and reliable environmental perception, positioning, and navigation information. It provides theoretical and technical support for the long-term autonomous operation and control of intelligent systems. The purpose of this Special Issue is to compile the latest advancements in sensor fusion research, thereby fostering technological innovation and its practical applications across multiple industries.
Special Issue topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT);
- Intelligent navigation;
- Environmental perception and mapping;
- Multi-Sensor information Resilient fusion;
- Multi-Sensor fusion system autonomous integrity.

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.
