Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growth in the construction of smart cities requires greater understanding of the latest sensing applications and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. IoT architectures integrate sensor networks and support processing and control loops on edge devices and in the cloud. Sensors are enabling the measurement of valuable information that provides the basis for making effective decisions and predicting future planning actions. IoT technologies provide the tools and platform for implementing sensing applications, including embedded systems, modern robotics, autonomous systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), mobile app development, 4G/5G mobile networks, cloud computing, virtual networking, and network security.
In this Special Issue, we focus on all major aspects of autonomous systems, sensing, and related IoT technology (e.g., robots, drones, cars, subsea vehicles). Robotics is currently going through a new revolution (e.g., Industry 4.0), with robots evolving into fully automated systems with high flexibility using artificial intelligence technology. This Special Issue aims to present high-quality research and recent technology advances toward smart cities in major application areas such as smart buildings, environment, intelligent transport, utilities, and health. Relevant topics of interest include all aspects of IoT systems in the city domain, including embedded sensors, wide area networks (e.g., LORA/5G), sensor networks, and wireless networks.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Wireless sensor networks and architecture
- Energy storage strategies and data processing
- Energy harvesting/charging
- Energy sensing techniques
- Long-life sensor node deployment
- AI-based scheduling sensor algorithms
- AI-based coordinating sensor devices for healthcare applications
- Smart embedded IoT system for environmental, autonomous vehicles, and forensic applications
- Secured sensor communications
- AI- and 5G-based IoT technologies
- UAV-aided IoT technologies Sensing
- Information acquisition: sensing and visioning technology
- Transmission: ultra-remote signal transmission
- Processing: multisensor fusion technology
- Instrumentation: actuating technology, robotics thermal protection technology
- Control: multidegree of freedom mobile and operating robot control methods, obstacle avoidance, and sweeping; decision support systems (DSS)
- Communication: human–robot (H2R) interaction systems, machine-to-machine (M2M)

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.
