Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Assistive robotics has gained significant traction in recent years, offering invaluable support to humans across a wide spectrum of activities, from everyday tasks to intricate procedures. However, the current state of technology and tools utilized in these systems presents certain limitations, resulting in restricted functionality and limited human–robot interaction. To unlock the full potential of assistive robotics, there is a pressing need for innovative advancements in sensing technologies and control mechanisms. These breakthroughs will enable seamless communication and interaction between humans and robots, fostering a more efficient, effective, and safe approach to task execution. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in sensing technologies and control mechanisms for assistive robotics, foster interdisciplinary research, and showcase cutting-edge solutions that empower humans and revolutionize the field of assistive robotics. We invite submissions on, but not limited to, the following subject areas:
- Rehabilitation robots;
- Intelligent robotic systems;
- Human–robot interaction;
- Tele-operation and haptics;
- Collaborative robotics;
- Robot sensors and vision;
- Control systems;
- Intelligent sensing;
- Three-dimensional sensing and modeling;
- Sensor fusion;
- Emerging sensor technologies;
- Distributed sensing;
- Motion planning and control;
- Wearable robotics’ cybersecurity

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.
