Research Areas

Research covered by this journal

Journal of Robotics, Automation and Autonomous Systems is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme focused on robotics, automation and autonomous systems. Its sections cover Robot Perception, Robot Learning, Autonomous Navigation, Industrial Automation, Human–Robot Interaction, Control & Motion Planning, Swarm Robotics, Field Robotics, Soft Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles. It considers foundational and applied engineering contributions in robotics, control and autonomous systems, including methods and systems evaluated under conditions relevant to their intended use. Submissions may report analytical models, control methods, robot or automation design, simulation, experiments, human–robot studies and system integration. Authors should describe platforms, sensors, datasets, operating conditions, comparison methods and safety limitations where relevant. Evaluation should support the stated claims and make clear how results may or may not generalize. Editorial assessment considers scope, technical soundness, research integrity and clarity. The stated review model is double-anonymous peer review, normally with at least two independent reviewers. Publisher policies on ethics, access, authorship, conflicts, data and corrections apply alongside this journal’s scope. Manuscripts can be submitted only after the journal’s submission route opens.
