Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to a Special Issue of Sensors on “Sensing, Navigation, Control and Communication of Autonomous Robotic Systems”.
Intelligent robotics, artificial intelligence and the autonomy of a technical system are drivers of economic and strategic development for every modern country worldwide. These new and progressive technologies can provide solutions to many challenges, such as defending and monitoring borders, monitoring and mitigating the effects of disasters, transport in warehouses, care for the elderly in aging societies and minimizing the environmental impact of farming (e.g., crop management to practice effective water management and use less fertilizer). Artificial intelligence and robotics systems allow machines, devices, and high-tech systems to analyze their environment and make autonomous decisions to achieve specific goals or a long-term strategy, replan these goals, react to specific events and reconfigure themselves. In all applications, all types of onboard communication, control, navigation, tracking and sensing systems determine the success of the mission (UAV, UGV, USV, AUV, ROV, etc.). The navigation, control and communication of autonomous vehicles, as well as sensing operations performed by unmanned mobile robots, necessitate thorough and precise analyses, low-level control and navigation syntheses, simulations and the preparation of hardware experiments. Autonomous vehicles applied to any task must be carefully tested in a real environment (indoor or outdoor) and in number of extreme scenarios before they could be used for any task. Further, joint sensing and communication for control is also important . This Special Issue is focused on new developments in control, navigation, communication, tracking and sensing by Autonomous Unmanned Systems used for civil and military 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.
