Publications

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) is committed to advancing innovation, knowledge, and excellence in robotics and automation. Our publications serve as a global platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share groundbreaking ideas, cutting-edge technologies, and practical applications that shape the future of intelligent systems.
On this page, you will find essential resources and guidelines related to our journals, magazines, and submission processes, both RAS Sponsored Publications, Co-sponsored Publications and Technically Co-sponsored Publications. Whether you are preparing a manuscript, submitting a video, or exploring ethical standards, these links provide everything you need to contribute to and benefit from the RAS community.
Our portfolio includes leading publications such as RA-L, RA-M, T-ASE, T-RO, T-FR and RA-P, along with tools and programs designed to support authors, reviewers, and young researchers. We also provide guidance on topics like plagiarism, generative AI usage, Double-Anonymous Review Process
 and best practices for creating impactful robot videos.
Explore the sections below to access subscription details, author resources, and review guidelines including our Young reviewers Program, and join us in driving innovation in robotics and automation worldwide.

Keywords for RA-L are listed below, first in alphabetical order and then by subject area. All keywords should be interpreted as requiring relevance to robotics and/or automation. For example, “Deep Learning Methods” represents “Deep Learning Methods in/for Robotics and Automation”. Please note that the Conferences for which an option is offered by RA-L have keywords matching exactly either all of the RA-L keywords or a subset of the RA-L keywords.
