Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The introduction of robots in environments where they must interact with humans is constantly increasing. In some scenarios, robots must exhibit a proactive behavior; such is the case for assistant robots or caregiver robots that must recognize the people who interact with them. Techniques based on appearance, while useful in other applications such as surveillance, are not suitable in these situations, and a more invariant and noninvasive trait must be considered. One of the most discriminative biometric traits is the face, which also represents the most important part of the body for social interaction. Therefore, any advances in human–robot interactions based on the face will facilitate the integration of robots in service tasks, e.g., as a museum assistant, hotel receptionist, or caregiver. This interaction must go beyond the identification task and can include emotion recognition or lip reading in noisy environments such as hotels or museums.

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.
