编辑部信息(Editorial Board)
About the journal The International Journal of Humanoid Robotics (IJHR) covers all subjects on the mind and body of humanoid robots. It is dedicated to advancing new theories, new techniques, and new implementations contributing to the successful achievement of future robots which not only imitate human beings, but also serve human beings. While IJHR encourages the contribution of original papers which are solidly grounded on proven theories or experimental procedures, the journal also encourages the contribution of innovative papers which venture into the new, frontier areas in robotics. Such papers need not necessarily demonstrate, in the early stages of research and development, the full potential of new findings on a physical or virtual robot.
IJHR welcomes original papers in the following categories:
- Research papers, which disseminate scientific findings contributing to solving technical issues underlying the development of humanoid robots, or biologically-inspired robots, having multiple functionality related to either physical capabilities (i.e. motion) or mental capabilities (i.e. intelligence)
- Review articles, which describe, in non-technical terms, the latest in basic theories, principles, and algorithmic solutions
- Short articles (e.g. feature articles and dialogues), which discuss the latest significant achievements and the future trends in robotics R&D
- Papers on curriculum development in humanoid robot education
- Book reviews
IJHR disseminates, in a timely manner, the latest advancements in the development and application of new theories, new techniques, and new implementations relevant to humanoid robotics, or biologically-inspired robots, to a wide audience of professionals. More specifically, this journal serves as an excellent resource of information for:
- Engineering-scientists and specialists in Intelligent and Cognitive Robotics, Cognitive Science, Artificial Psychology, Neuroscience, and Linguistics
- Corporate executives, government officers, educators, students, and all those with an interest in enabling technology and promising applications made possible by advanced robots, such as humanoid robots
IJHR suits all researchers in the areas of Robotics, Mechatronics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Engineering, Artificial Psychology, and Artificial Intelligence. In particular, the areas it covers include, but are not limited to:
- Design, Mechanism and Body
- Design, Mental Architecture and Mind
- Design, Algorithms and Software Tools
- Kinematics and Planning
- Dynamics, Control and Simulation
- Robot Learning and Mental Development

Instructions to Authors
- All submissions to IJHR are handled electronically. Manuscripts must be submitted online via Editorial Manager (EM), a fully web-based submission, peer-review, and tracking system. Upon submission authors should specify to which section the paper belongs.
New Authors: If you are submitting via this new system for the first time, you will first be required to register. From the account you create, you will be able to monitor your submission and make subsequent submissions.
- Submission of a manuscript implies that the paper has not been published and is not being considered for publication in another journal.
- Once a paper has been accepted for publication in this journal, the author is assumed to have transferred the copyright to World Scientific Publishing Co.
- All submitted papers will be acknowledged and refereed.
- Authors are encouraged to use Latex2e to typeset their contributions using the journal's style/template document (Readme / Download), which includes guidelines on preparation). Otherwise, Microsoft Word is acceptable, following as closely as possible the format outlined in the Typesetting Instructions. Editorial Manager allows submission of source files at the submission stage. Papers may also be submitted in the form of a single .PDF or .PS file with fully embedded graphics (of a minimal resolution for the purposes of evaluation).
- Upon acceptance, the text file(s) and separate, high-quality graphics source files conforming to the requirements in the Typesetting Instructions will be requested by the publisher for use in the preparation of the publishable version of the paper.
- There will be no page charge for the journal. The first author of each accepted paper will receive the published PDF free of charge. Please visit our Author Rights page for the latest information on permissions to use your article, submitted, accepted or already published by World Scientific. An order form can be requested to order paper offprints.
Guidelines for Contributors of Special Issues
Invitation International Journal of Humanoid Robotics (IJHR) welcomes proposals of Special Issues (SI) on topics of interest relevant to the mental and physical development of advanced robots such as Humanoid Robots. An SI should be motivated by one of the following purposes:
- *
|
To give a fair assessment on the state-of-the-art on an important topic of interest. |
| * |
To provide insightful discussions on the advances in, and the remaining challenges faced by, an important topic of interest. |
| * |
To highlight new emerging areas of R&D for Humanoid Robotics. |
| * |
To report promising or successful applications of advanced robots such as Humanoid Robots. |
- Proposals coming from researchers significantly involved and recognized in Humanoid Robotics research will be considered. Editors, or Associate Editors of the journal, as well as the journal's Advisory Board members at large, are particularly welcome to guest-edit an SI.
- Scope
There are two kinds of SI:
- *
|
those which gather a selection of papers from a conference or a workshop, and |
| * |
those which are devoted to an important topic of interest. |
- SIs can be built on the basis of invitations (as in the case of selected conference papers) or voluntary contribution (i.e. open SIs with papers from voluntary contributors). For the latter, a call for papers is published in the journal, with a deadline for submitting papers to the Guest Editor (GE). This call for papers must include a rationale for the SI, keywords for relevant topics, and a schedule for the refereeing process.
- An SI is typically composed of 8-12 papers and fills about 150 journal pages. Submitting an SI proposal consists of writing a draft of the call for papers (for open SIs) or a statement describing the scientific event on which the SI is based and the mode of selection of the papers. These proposals must be approved by the Editors-in-Chief (EIC), who may request assistance from a suitable Editorial Board (EB) member to assess the SI's appropriateness.
- Once the principle of the SI is agreed upon, the GE is in charge of selecting/inviting papers, and of handling the paper review. All paper submissions to SIs must be done electronically via IJHR's online submission system.
- Review Procedure
Our goal is to reach the highest quality in both the content in the related field, and the clarity of the presentation in English.
- The GE has the freedom to select, or invite, papers to the SI, and inform the contributing authors to electronically submit their papers to the IJHR's website with a short message such as: "This paper is submitted to the special issue on X, which is organized by Y."
- Upon receipt of the submissions to an SI, the following process will occur:
- (1)
|
One of the EIC assigns received submissions to the GE who then handles the paper review. |
| (2) |
Each submission to the SI must be refereed by at least two independent referees. The GE is to identify two suitable referees to review a selected or invited paper to the SI |
| (3) |
A referee reviews a paper submitted for the SI, and sends the completed "manuscript review form" to the GE (the form can be downloaded from the IJHR website). |
| (4) |
Based on the results of the paper review, the GE makes the editorial decision by filling in the "editorial decision form" for each selected or invited paper to the SI (the form can be downloaded from the journal's website). |
| (5) |
The GE sends the review results (i.e. received review forms) and the editorial decisions (i.e. completed editorial decision forms) to the corresponding EIC. |
| (6) |
The corresponding EIC endorses the SI, and informs the GE, who notifies the authors accordingly. |
| (7) |
The accepted papers are sent to the in-house editor who will handle the editing, proof-reading, and production of the SI. |
