Robotics, Automation & Autonomous Systems

Scope Guidance

What We Publish

Submissions in this area should make a clear scientific, engineering, computational, analytical, or interdisciplinary contribution. Suitable research includes:

Robot perception, localization, mapping, navigation, planning, and control.

Industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing robotics, and collaborative robots.

UAVs, autonomous vehicles, mobile robots, marine robots, and field robotics.

Human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, rehabilitation devices, and safe collaboration.

Multi-agent systems, swarm robotics, cooperative autonomy, and distributed robotic intelligence.

AI-enabled robotics, embodied intelligence, digital twins, and autonomous cyber-physical systems.

Illustrative Examples

Example Research Directions

The examples below illustrate the type and level of research that can fit this area. They are examples, not a closed list.

Vision-language navigation for autonomous mobile robots in unstructured environments

Cooperative UAV path planning for rapid geohazard mapping

Safe human-robot collaboration using adaptive intention estimation

Multi-robot coordination for precision agriculture

Digital-twin-based fault diagnosis for industrial robotic cells

Learning-based control for assistive robotic systems

Scope Boundaries

Generally Not Suitable

Robot prototypes without quantitative evaluation or research contribution.

Simple line-following or educational robotic projects.

Commercial automation descriptions without transferable methods or analysis.

Important: A manuscript is assessed by its actual research contribution and scope fit, not only by its subject label. Borderline interdisciplinary work may still be suitable when the scientific or technological contribution is clear.
