Special Issue "Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for Better Perception, Estimation and Control Algorithms in Robotics"

Dear Colleagues,

During the last several years, a range of advanced algorithms in robotics have been developed, especially with the new generation of autonomous robots, which require a set of skills to carry out complex tasks autonomously. Perception, estimation and control algorithms are the fundamental capabilities with which these robots must be equipped in order to improve their navigation. Robots’ tasks in real environments are not simple, and have been the focus of the scientific community’s effort for decades, among these tasks are navigation and localization, environmental perception, path planning, moving between targets, real-time reactions to unexpected events, and people and object tracking.

Machine learning (ML) techniques present an opportunity to address the challenges facing the discipline through data-driven solutions. We are convinced that these techniques can better improve dedicated algorithms for perception, estimation and control. This Special Issue aims to publish novel works that apply machine learning and computational intelligence techniques for better perception, estimation and control algorithms in robotics.

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.
