Journal Title：Autonomous Robots

Autonomous Robots reports on the theory and applications of robotic systems capable of some degree of self-sufficiency. It features papers that include performance data on actual robots in the real world. Coverage includes: control of autonomous robots · real-time vision · autonomous wheeled and tracked vehicles · legged vehicles · computational architectures for autonomous systems · distributed architectures for learning, control and adaptation · studies of autonomous robot systems · sensor fusion · theory of autonomous systems · terrain mapping and recognition · self-calibration and self-repair for robots · self-reproducing intelligent structures · genetic algorithms as models for robot development.

The focus is on the ability to move and be self-sufficient, not on whether the system is an imitation of biology. Of course, biological models for robotic systems are of major interest to the journal since living systems are prototypes for autonomous behavior.

《自主機器人》報道了具有一定程度自給自足能力的機器人系統的理論和應用。它刊登的論文包括現實世界中實際機器人的性能數據。內容包括：自主機器人的控制·實時視覺·自主輪式和履帶式車輛·腿式車輛·自主系統的計算架構·用于學習、控制和適應的分布式架構·自主機器人系統研究·傳感器融合·自主系統理論·地形測繪和識別·機器人的自我校準和自我修復·自我復制智能結構·遺傳算法作為機器人開發的模型。

重點是移動和自給自足的能力，而不是系統是否是對生物學的模仿。當然，機器人系統的生物模型是該雜志的主要興趣所在，因為生命系統是自主行為的原型。

Autonomous Robots創刊于1994年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 機器人學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數3.7，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
