IEEE Transactions on Robotics

Published by the

The IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) is the new name of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation (T-RA). In 2004, the single IEEE-RAS Transactions T-RA bifurcated in the renamed T-RO and in the new Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE).

 T-RA has been the top-cited archival publication on robotics for years and closed publications in June 2004. The bimonthly T-RO inherits this qualification, with the first issue published in August 2004 as volume 20, issue 4 of the original T-RA numbering. Sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, T-RO publishes fundamental scientific papers where robots play a central role. 

Specifically involved are the following areas as they relate to the field:

kinematics, dynamics, control, modeling and simulation of robots and intelligent machines and systems; manipulation, grasping, and dexterous hands; design of robotic mechanisms; mathematical and computational issues in robotics; intelligent robotic instrumentation and measurement; vision and other non-contact sensors; tactile and other contact sensing systems; sensor integration, fusion, and perception; mechatronics; assembly and task planning; teleoperation and telerobotics; haptics; robot motion planning, path and trajectory planning, localization and navigation; mobile and autonomous robotics: legged locomotion and humanoid robots; micro- and nano-robotics; cellular, distributed, and cooperating robotics. 

Robotics in industry, manufacturing, and flexible automation; linkages to computer-aided design, engineering, and information systems. 

Robotics in unstructured environments, including service and household systems, medical systems, construction systems, space and unmanned air vehicles, underwater systems, intelligent vehicle and highway systems.

Robotics application of methodologies such control, learning, hybrid systems, mathematical optimization, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and fuzzy systems. Robotics and intelligent system-related computer hardware, software, and architectures; advanced programming languages and software development environments; virtual reality; human-robot interface and integration.
