Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we stand at the forefront of technological innovation, smart sensors and assisted robotics are becoming increasingly pivotal in ergonomic assessment and interventions. The application of these technologies is transforming our approach to health monitoring, wearable devices, and biomedical engineering, opening new avenues for improving human–machine interaction and personal well-being.
This Special Issue on "Smart Sensors for Ergonomics and Assisted Robotics Applications" seeks to gather original research and groundbreaking work in developing, integrating, and applying smart sensors within these domains. We are particularly interested in contributions that explore the use of smart sensors in:
- Enhancing ergonomic designs for improved workplace safety and efficiency.
- Advancing assisted robotics, with a focus on rehabilitation robotics for patient care.
- Innovating in health monitoring through smart wearable technology.
This collection aims to cover a broad spectrum of related topics, including, but not limited to:
- Ergonomics;
- Assisted Robotics;
- Rehabilitation Robotics;
- Smart Sensors;
- Health Monitoring;
- Wearable Technology;
- Biomedical Engineering.

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.
