Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous robots, networked robots, and robot sensing technologies have been fast developing in recent years, and they are shaping our future lives. Each robot is not only a complex system, but also a smart agent in a networked environment. A robot is composed of sensing, computing, communicating, and actuating subsystems. Research in networked robot systems covers a broad range of topics.
This Special Issue focuses on robot sensing and networked robot sensing technologies. Each robot works as a smart agent in a dynamic network. They work cooperatively or independently to sense nearby environments. In such an environment, how robots work collaboratively to improve the efficiency and accuracy of environment sensing is a key problem. How the robots collaborate to finish special tasks is also attracting substantial attention.
This Special Issue will collect cutting-edge research results in the area of robot networks, collaborative robot sensing technologies, networked robot systems, etc. Research on the collaboration of robot systems with the IoT and cloud computing systems are also welcome. More specifically, the following listed topics are of particular interest but related works in networked robot sensing systems not specifically mentioned are also welcome:
- Networked robot systems
- Collaborative robot sensing systems and algorithms
- Collaborative anonymously locating and mapping
- Collaborative robot navigation
- Robot formation control
- Robot location and navigation algorithms
- The collaboration of robots and IoT systems
- Information fusion algorithms in robot systems
- Vision, inertial sensing and navigation
- Data processing in robot sensing 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 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. Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks 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 2000 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.
