Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on mobile robotics systems, where we are witnessing a widespread surge in current applications as well as promising future applications that are made possible due to recent technologies in sensors development. Mobile robots are already started to penetrate our homes, modern manufacturing and warehouse systems are hard to imagine without automated guided vehicles, self-driving cars already drive in normal traffic, flying taxies are about to take off and offer new travel experience, drones already have applications in delivery and remote sensing, not to mention applications in agriculture, construction, medical care, surveillance, entertainment, and others where some will also appear in unforeseen ways, all of them offering an emerging market with great potential. Advanced sensor technologies are of crucial importance in mobile robotics—a multidisciplinary research field—for obtaining automated or autonomous operation of mobile robots in these applications. They have a part in every navigation, motion control, action planning, decision making, environment sensing, localization, awareness, object detection, target tracking, or object manipulation.
This Special Issue on advanced sensor technologies welcomes contributions on recent developments in mobile robotics systems and associated research from a theoretic and application perspective. Topics related to mobile robotics include but are not limited to new sensor developments, innovations in theory, algorithms, reviews, sensor applications, sensor processing, sensor fusion, sensor calibration, object tracking, localization, scene recognition, SLAM, control algorithms, navigation, motion control, mobile robotics, and autonomous system design.

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.
