Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on collaboration efforts between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and various robots, especially mobile robots, is being actively conducted. System convergence can be maximized while compensating for the shortcomings of different systems. In many scenarios, UAVs may viably collaborate with traditional mobile robot navigation, and together, they have expanded the applications of aerial data.
This Special Issue aims to contribute to enhancing the knowledge of UAV-assisted mobile robot navigation systems. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Autonomous collaborative navigation;
- Data fusion (integration of UAV data with other sources, e.g., UGV and USV);
- Cloud-based multiple/heterogeneous robot system;
- Digital-twin-based multirobot system;
- Applications in real fields (agriculture, forestry, subterranean, etc.).

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. Drones is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
