Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Social and intelligent robots have gained significant attention due to their potential to revolutionize various domains, including healthcare, education, entertainment, and assistive technology. Sensing technologies play a vital role in enabling these robots to perceive and understand their surroundings, interact with humans, and exhibit adaptive behaviors.
This Special Issue invites researchers and practitioners to contribute original research papers, reviews, case studies, and application-focused articles that cover a broad range of topics related to sensing for social and intelligent robots, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Sensing modalities for social robots (e.g., vision, audio, touch, and proximity);
- The perception and recognition of human gestures, emotions, and expressions;
- Human–robot interaction and collaboration using sensing technologies;
- Sensor fusion techniques for multimodal perception in robots;
- Adaptive and context-aware sensing for intelligent robots;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence in robotic perception and behavior;
- Sensor-based navigation and mapping for social robots;
- Sensing for assistive and healthcare robotics;
- Ethical considerations and privacy issues in sensing for social robots;
- Evaluation and benchmarking methodologies for sensing technologies in social robotics.
Authors are encouraged to present their original research contributions, experimental results, and practical applications related to sensing technologies in social and intelligent robots. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the publication of high-quality and impactful research.

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.
