About the journal
Robotics and Autonomous Systems
|
Robotics and Autonomous Systems will carry articles describing fundamental developments in the field of robotics, with special emphasis on autonomous systems. An important goal of this journal is to extend the state of the art in both symbolic and sensory based robot control and learning in the context of autonomous systems.
Robotics and Autonomous Systems will carry articles on the theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of autonomous systems, or modules of such systems.
Application environments of interest include industrial, outdoor and outer space where advanced robotic techniques are required for autonomous systems to accomplish goals without human intervention; this includes robotics for hazardous and hostile environments.
Robotics and Autonomous Systems will carry brief reports on international meetings in the field, as well as an occasional multi-author debate on current topics of interest. Forthcoming meetings of importance will be listed.
In more detail, the journal will cover the following topics:
symbol mediated robot behavior control;
sensory mediated robot behavior control;
active sensory processing and control;
industrial applications of autonomous systems;
sensor modeling and data interpretation e.g. models and software for sensor data integration, 3D scene analysis, environment description and modeling, pattern recognition;
robust techniques in AI and sensing e.g. uncertainty modeling, graceful degradation of systems;
robot programming e.g. on-line and off-line programming, discrete event dynamical systems, fuzzy logic;
CAD-based robotics e.g. CAD-based vision, reverse engineering;
robot simulation and visualization tools;
tele-autonomous systems;
micro electromechanical robots;
robot control architectures;
robot planning, adaptation and learning. |

Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
Submission of your manuscript is welcome provided that it, or any translation of it, has not been copyrighted or published and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Manuscripts should be prepared for publication in accordance with instructions given in the "Guide for Authors" (available from the Publisher), details of which are given below.
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the review and publication of your paper is as swift and efficient as possible. These notes may be copied freely.
Submission of manuscripts
On-line submission
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission at http://www.elsubmit.com/esubmit/robot. This website permits authors to upload their manuscript and its associated artwork. An electronic (PDF) proof is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using PDF. It is crucial that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the PDF is suitable for reviewing. This will also allow the preferred position of placement to be indicated, however please note that due to journal conventions, it may not be possible to meet all requirements for placement of artwork. Moreover, the PDF file may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. Authors and editors send and receive all correspondence by email via the website and no paper correspondence is performed.
Hard-copy submission
Should you prefer not to use the on-line submission tool, then please carefully read the following instructions. For the initial submission, Authors should submit one electronic copy (PDF Portable Document Format preferred) and four hard copies of their manuscripts, one complete set of original illustrations and three copies to one of the Editors.
For the submission of the final version, two hard copies (on paper) and two soft copies on diskettes or CDs containing the electronic version of their manuscript (in Word-processor compatible format) are required (express mail preferred). It is important that the electronic file and the accepted printout are identical. The following information is required: e-mail address, telephone and fax number, computer type used (PC/Mac), Word processing package.
In case of a hard-copy submission all manuscripts should be submitted to one of the following editors:

Submissions using LaTeX
If the file is suitable, proof will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should be encoded in Elsevier-LaTeX, standard LaTeX or AMS-LaTeX ('in document style 'article'). The Elsevier-LaTeX package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from Elsevier's web site:http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex. The Elsevier package consists of the files: elsart.cls (use this file if you are using LaTeX2e, the current version of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart12.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX2.09, the previous version of LaTeX), instraut.dvi and/or instraut.ps (instruction booklet), model-harv.tex or model-num.tex (model files with instructions), template-harv.tex or template-num.tex (template files).
No changes from the accepted version are permissible, without the explicit approval by the Editor. The Publisher reserves the right to decide whether to use the author's file or not.
General Author Instructions
Manuscripts should be typed in a single column, with wide margins. Each paper should be introduced by three to five keywords as well as by a selfcontained abstract of no more than 100 words not counting the formulas. It should also include references, a short biography and a photo of each author. All pages should be numbered consecutively. The cover page should be a title page stating: title, author(s), affiliation(s), the mailing address, fax number and email address of the corresponding author. Please make sure that the paper is submitted in its final form. Corrections in the proof stage other than printer's errors should be avoided: costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors. Footnotes should be avoided as much as possible and be brief. They should be numbered consecutively. References should be listed alphabetically, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2], papers in a contributed volume [3,4], unpublished papers [5].

Figures should be suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. They should be large-size originals, drawn in India ink and carefully lettered, or should be produced using professional quality graphics software and a laser printer. Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality. Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork/.
Figures should have an Arabic number and a caption.
Tables must be typed on separate sheets and should have a short title and an arabic number. In the main text, figrues and tables must be referred to as: see Fig. 1, or Figs. 2 and 3; Table 1, etc.
Keyword Instructions Please add one to five keywords to your article. Keywords are essential for the accessibility and retrievability of your article. Keywords assigned to articles will be assembled in a keyword index, which will both appear on the Internet and be printed in the last issue of each volume and in cumulative indexes. To maximize the consistency with which such keywords are assigned by different authors, the following guidelines have been drawn up:
- Each keyword (which can be a phrase of more than one word) should describe one single concept. Often words like "and" or "of" should be avoided.
- Avoid very general keywords which become meaningless once in a keyword list. Examples to avoid are "action", "computer", "mathematics". Check whether the keywords as a whole describe the outlines of the article.
- Use natural language: for instance "automatic error recovery" rather than "error recovery, automatic". Try to use nouns and adjectives as much as possible (i.E. use "automatic error recovery" rather than "recovering errors automatically").
- Avoid the use of abbreviations as much as possible, unless an abbreviation is so well established that the full term is rarely used (e.g. use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", but use "computer aided design"instead of "CAD").
Although these guidelines are not mandatory, they should be adhered to where possible.
Author Benefits
- No page charge is due.
- 30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
