About the journal

The Journal of Robotic Systems publishes archival papers in all aspects of basic and applied research on the analysis, design, realization, and use of robots, robot components, and robot systems. The Journal places particular emphasis on publishing research contributions in emerging fields of robot system design and integration.
The study of robotic systems is the theory and methodology common to all collections of interacting, functional units that together achieve a definite purpose. Practically, it is concerned with the engineering design of interrelated, flexible automation units in addition to the basic problems of individual robots and robot components.
The basic robotic topics are, broadly defined, mechanics, control, and sensor design. Mechanics includes the design and structure of manipulators, arms, end-effectors, hands, locomotion, vehicles, and peripherals; actuators, power, and energy storage; and kinematics, dynamics, and simulation. Control includes both theory (electrical and mechanical control, optimization of spatial paths, and task planning) and implementation (hardware and software). Sensors includes design of sensors and sensor systems and algorithms for sensory data acquisition and analysis.
Topics specific to systems may be classified by complexity level: robot level (integration of mechanical, controller, and sensory components); robot-cell level (integration of robots, peripherals, cell control, and local area network; applications and "taskware"; interface with human operators); and robot-plant level (integration of robot cells, plant environment, CAD/CAM interaction, and planning and implementation of computer integrated flexible manufacturing).
Robot systems have become increasingly more complex. Advances are still being made in the basic disciplines of mechanics, control, and sensors. However, there are emerging fields in robotics that are less conventional. The Journal of Robotic Systems places particular attention on the publication of such articles in a section entitled Emerging Fields. This section will publish two or three articles in each issue in the newer fields of robot system design.
The section on Emerging Fields will initially focus on two areas of robot system design:
1. Distributed robotics, self-organization, and swarm intelligence, a field concerned with the design and operation of distributed multi-agent systems and the cooperative behavior of multiple robots. This topic includes the theory and implementation of robots capable of asynchronous and distributed control, cooperative behaviors, relationships to biological systems, cellular robots and evolving systems.
2. Robot and human integration, a field concerned with the coexistence of human and robotic components both "within an individual and in society." This is a newly emerging field of robotic systems, and it is still being defined. It includes the input, representation, processing, and communication of all nonconceptual (e.g., emotional) information. Thus, research in this area currently includes aspects of robot杊uman cooperation, facial expressions, human aided robotic interpretation, multimedia communication, virtual reality, biorobotics, and cyborgs as they pertain to robot杊uman integration. |

Instructions to Authors
JRS Paper Categories
Five types of manuscripts are accepted for publication: (1) regular articles, (2) emerging fields, (3) brief communications, (4) reviews, and (5) case studies.
Articles are full-length papers reporting original research.
Emerging Fields are papers describing new results in distributed robotics, self-organization, swarm intelligence, robot and human integration, and other emerging topics in robotics. Papers submitted to this section are given priority ihn editorial processing and production for accelerated publication.
Brief Communications are intended for the accelerated publication of important new results. The total length of the manuscript should not exceed six double-spaced manuscript pages, including figures. Publications in this format will not preclude subsequent publication of an appropriately expanded version as a regular article in the Journal. A series of Rapid Communications by the same author on a particular subject is discouraged.
Reviews are either perspective/tutorial articles in rapidly developing fields of robotics or comprehensive, scholarly-reviews of significant topics.
Case Studies are examinations of specific robotic systems or technologies applied in a real-world experimental context.
Authors should specify one of the above categories when submitting a paper to JRS. The Editors may, under some circumstances, publish a submission under a different paper category than the author originally requested, with the consent of the author.
How to Submit an Article for Review
Manuscripts (in English) should be submitted in triplicate, one original and two anonymous copies with all identifying information (e.g. acknowledgements) removed, on standard 8 1/2 by 11-in. (21 by 28-cm) paper with 1-in. (2.5-cm) margins. All copy including captions, footnotes, and references, must be typed double-spaced and on one side of the sheet only.
Manuscripts for the Journal of Robotic Systems and all correspondence concerning manuscripts under review should be sent to Dr. M. Daniel DeCillis, Managing Editor, Journal of Robotic Systems, Bourns College of Engineering, University of California–Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521. Address all other correspondence to Journal of Robotics, Publisher, Professional/Trade Group, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 111 River Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030.
Authors may also submit papers for review electronically in Adobe PDF format to jrs@ee.ucr.edu. . Please include complete contact information (including mailing address and telephone number) for the corresponding author in the text of the message accompanying any submissions.
Style (Initial Submission)
Please use simple text formatting (i.e. no double columns or other attempt to replicate our published format) and a legible font of at least 12 point size.
Equations, figures and tables should be numbered sequentially. Figures and tables must also have captions. In the initial submission, figures and tables should appear in the body of the text. Figures may be submitted in black and white, grayscale, or color. Color figures will appear in black and white unless authors agree in advance to a per-figure color reproduction fee.
Citations must be numbered consecutively in the order of appearance and cited in the text with superscript arabic numbers. The references should be gathered together after the end of text under the heading "References." Authors are required to supply complete information for references. Please follow the guidelines of the American Mathematical Society. Sample references follow.
