Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Advanced Tactile Sensors: Design and Applications”, delves into the cutting-edge developments and innovative applications of tactile sensing technologies. This Special Issue primarily focuses on tactile sensors within the scope of Sensors and the significant impact on perception, robot manipulation, embodied intelligence, human–robot interaction, and robot dexterity. By exploring the latest advancements in sensor design and integration, this collection aims to highlight how tactile sensors enhance the capabilities of robots, enabling more sophisticated and nuanced interactions with their environments.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Advanced tactile sensors and actuators;
  2. Embodied intelligence with touch;
  3. System integration of tactile sensors in robots;
  4. Tactile sensing in robot manipulation and human–robot interactions;
  5. Advanced methodologies in tactile perception;
  6. Datasets and benchmarks for robot tactile perception;
  7. Tactile simulations;
  8. The tactile internet;
  9. Other tactile applications.

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.
