International Journal of Robotics Research

Aims & Scope

It is the policy of The International Journal of Robotics Research to encourage the application of theoretical advances to real problems and data.

Results should represent a significant rather than incremental advance, and should be verified appropriately according to the topic.

Experimental results are strongly encouraged.

There should be an up to date literature review, and meaningful comparisons with previous work to demonstrate any proposed advance.

All articles that pass initial editorial assessment are peer-reviewed by independent referees.
