Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of rehabilitation is undergoing transformation driven by the convergence of robotics and sensor technologies. This Special Issue of Sensors, entitled “Advances in Robotics and Sensors for Rehabilitation”, explores this exciting intersection, showcasing cutting-edge research that is transforming how we recover from injury and illness.
Regaining mobility and independence is a core goal of rehabilitation. This Special Issue highlights the development of robotic assistive devices, such as exoskeletons and robotic wheelchairs, that physically aid patients in movement therapy. It delves into the critical role of sensors in these devices, providing real-time feedback on a patient’s progress and enabling personalized therapy plans.
Beyond physical assistance, this Special Issue explores the growing prominence of wearable sensors. These unobtrusive devices continuously monitor vital signs, movement patterns, and even environmental factors, allowing for remote patient monitoring and the prevention of secondary complications. The integration of artificial intelligence with sensor data further enhances rehabilitation by creating intelligent systems that adapt to individual needs and provide real-time feedback.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that showcase the latest advancements in robotics, sensor technology, and the application of artificial intelligence methods for rehabilitation. We invite researchers to share their work on the following topics:
- Novel robotic assistive devices for physical therapy;
- Sensor integration for real-time patient monitoring;
- Wearable technology for at-home rehabilitation;
- Human–robot interaction in rehabilitation settings;
- The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for personalized therapy.
This Special Issue aims to accelerate the development of innovative solutions that empower individuals on their path to recovery by collaboration between robotics, sensors, and AI experts.

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.
