Robotics and Automation Magazine

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine (RAM) publishes technical articles of interest to the international robotics and automation community.  The magazine is consistently ranked by Thompson's Journal of Citation Reports among the top four Robotics publications world wide and in 2009 was number one with an impact factor of 3.0.  The magazine publishes four issues per year: March, June, September and December.

• All issues can be found on IEEE Xplore.
• Check out the Magazine's new YouTube channel, a moderated collection of robotics and automation videos.  Send submissions to videos@ram.ieee-ras.org.

Scope

Robotics & Automation Magazine is the main dissemination means to all members of the society and beside having scientific goals, it  also provides general information related to the society and education.

Tutorial articles are solicited in different fields and to attract young readers some short practically oriented features are reported. The scientific papers should contain some practical applicability in order to be published in the magazine, but this does not exclude applicable fundamental contributions. The topics span from automation to robotics and cover among others: robotic manipulation, planning, design and realization, control and software aspects of robotic control, haptics and telemanipulation, robotics technologies, grasping, vision, sensor technologies, localization, wheel and legs locomotion, nano- and micro- systems, cooperative robotics, underwater vehicles, UAVs, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, construction, security, manufacturing, maintenance, supply chains, home automation, laboratory automation and service, food handling and processing, system modeling, analysis, performance Evaluation, production planning, scheduling and coordination.

All fields where robotics and automation technologies are applied are of interest.
