Sensing and intelligent perception in robotic applications are important since the performances of robot system depend on the performances of sensors greatly. Novel sensors and their functions can give robot good perception, which is the base of self-adaptive and artificial intelligence of robots. Therefore, we are hoping so eagerly that the review and original papers describing current and expected challenges along with potential solutions for Sensing and intelligent perception in robotic applications will join this Special Issue of Journal of Sensors. Both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome.
