Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Path planning is fundamental and crucial for various kinds of robots, such as autonomous vehicles, multi-connection robots, or robot arms. It is crucial to generate a safe path that avoids collision with obstacles or other robots in the path planning of multiple robots. Considering aerial or underwater robots, a safe path must be planned by considering 3D environments. The complexity of the path planning of a robot arm increases significantly as the number of degrees of freedom increases. Thus, safe paths must be generated for high-dimensional systems in a time-efficient manner. In practice, an obstacle may move, sometimes necessitating the replanning of a robot’s path. Moreover, it is desirable to consider the dynamic model of a robot when generating a path for the robot. The need for advanced sensing systems, navigation, guidance, and controls for autonomous vehicles is growing as the demands for such vehicles to undertake more complex missions increase. This Special Issue will present the recent advances in the research on the above-mentioned topics.

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.
