Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tremendous advances in the development of tactile sensors have led to their use in a wide range of practical applications including electronic devices such as touchscreens for mobile phones and computers. In an abstract way, these sensors mimic the human sense of touch by converting some quantity associated with physical touch into processable information. In practice, “physical touch” can be represented by measurable properties such as temperature, vibration, softness, texture, shape, composition shear as well as normal force or combinations thereof. This Special Issue, “Frontiers in Tactile Sensors”, is dedicated to gathering research articles, short communications and review articles on recent developments in the field of tactile sensors as a focussed source of information intended to inspire future innovations in the field.
Acceptable topics may include—but are by no means limited to—flexible electronics, healthcare applications, disease diagnosis, biomedical materials, opportunities and challenges of concurrent tactile sensors, and other sensor applications. We invite researchers in this field to submit relevant manuscripts to this Special Issue of the journal Sensors.

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.
