Distributed Localization Algorithms in Multi-Agent Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Multiagent systems, such as collaborative robots, UAVs, and smart cars, are emerging in recent years. Localization is a critical foundation for the operation of multiagent systems. The smart agent is now widely equipped with different kinds of sensors onboard, including global positioning systems (GPS), inertial measurement units (IMUs), ultra-wide band (UWB) devices for accurate wireless ranging measurements, cameras, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors, and radio detection and ranging (RADAR) sensors. The processing power of the agents is also developing very fast. Using the embedded CPU and GPU onboard, the agent can process the multimodel, multimedia sensing data collected from the sensors to conduct distributed location and mapping. This Special Issue focuses on distributed localization algorithms in multiple agent systems.

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.
