Important Notice

Since January 1, 2008, the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ROBOTICS (T-RO) has used a fully web-based paper review and management system, powered by PaperCept.

New submissions and resubmissions should go to ras.papercept.net/journals/tro. The categories of submissions are four: regular papers, short papers, survey papers, and communication items. The first three allow also multimedia attachments (e.g., videos) to be uploaded.

For submission, ALL authors of a paper should possess a PIN number from the Robotics & Automation Society (RAS) journal or conference management systems. If you have submitted a paper to the most recent ICRA conferences, you already have one. In order to find your own or someone else's PIN, update your personal information (strongly recommended before submitting), or register a new PIN if you never obtained one before, just follow the link in the log in page of the submission site.

Since August 15, 2008, authors should use the IEEE Transactions style and format right from the initial submission. There are limits on the maximum number of PDF pages in Transactions format for each paper category. For more details, read here.

For further inquiries, please contact the T-RO Editor-in-Chief.
