International Journal of Automation Technology

Aims & Scope

This journal focuses on advanced automation technologies ranging from basic techniques to a variety of applications meeting industrial requirements.

This covers automation technologies on design, manufacturing, assembly, inspection, transportation, logistics, machine tools, robotic system, and control systems and devices.

While some journals focus on automation specific to scientific research, no single journal provides such comprehensive coverage as engineering research and development papers and commercial magazines.

This journal thus provides many practical examples relating advanced automation and reviews, research and development papers, news, and interview, providing readers with much new, interesting, and informative topics directly applicable to their work.
