Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine robotics aims to design and develop systems, as well as to provide support to their operation, for scientific research and commercial applications. Recent advances in miniaturized sensors, energy-efficient actuators, and low-cost embedded computer systems are impacting the development of autonomous, remotely operated, and hybrid marine vehicles. Current technology is also enabling the operation of multiple marine vehicles working in cooperation by exploiting the availability of increasingly sophisticated technologies for underwater communication networks. At the core of this trend, navigation and localization of autonomous marine vehicles are key for the suitable and reliable development of missions at sea. Therefore, this Special Issue is focused on collecting the latest experiments, applications, advances, and challenges related to navigation and localization of autonomous, surface and underwater, marine vehicles.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
