Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era where robotics is transcending traditional boundaries, the role of sensors in enhancing robotic capabilities has never been more pivotal. The design and integration of advanced sensors are crucial for enabling robots to navigate complex environments, make autonomous decisions, and interact intelligently with their surroundings. This evolution marks a significant leap towards creating more adaptive, responsive, and functional robotic systems capable of tackling real-world challenges across various domains. The importance of sensing technologies cannot be overstated, as they pave the way for next-generation robotics to perform more complex, adaptive, and collaborative tasks. Despite the remarkable progress, the field still faces significant challenges that hinder the full realization of sensor-enabled robotics' potential.
This Special Issue of Sensors (MDPI), entitled "Design and Integration of Sensors for Control, Planning and Deployment in Robotic Systems", focuses on the critical aspects of sensor design, manufacturing, and their integration into robotic systems for enhanced control, planning, and deployment. We invite research and review papers that introduce novel developments in sensing technologies, fabrication processes, and their application in robotics.

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.
