Submission Requirements
Manuscript Format
Submit your robotics or AI research in Microsoft Word (.docx) or LaTeX format. Manuscripts should follow standard scientific structure: Title, Abstract (250 words maximum), Keywords (5-8 terms), Introduction, Methods/Algorithms, Results/Experiments, Discussion, Conclusion, References. Include clear section headings and maintain consistent formatting throughout.
Figures and Multimedia
Robotics and AI research often requires visual documentation. Submit system architecture diagrams, algorithm flowcharts, experimental setup photos, and result visualizations in high resolution (minimum 300 DPI). Accepted formats: TIFF, EPS, PNG, or JPEG. For robot demonstrations or algorithm visualizations, include video links (YouTube, Vimeo) or supplementary video files. Label all figures clearly and reference them in the manuscript text.
Code and Data Availability
To support reproducibility in robotics and AI research, we strongly encourage authors to share source code, datasets, and experimental protocols. Provide GitHub repository links, dataset DOIs (Zenodo, Figshare), or supplementary files. Clearly document software dependencies, hardware requirements, and execution instructions. Code sharing enhances citation rates and research impact.
Ethics and Compliance
Research involving human subjects (human-robot interaction studies, user studies, data collection) requires IRB approval documentation. Robot deployments in public spaces or sensitive environments need institutional approval letters. Studies using proprietary datasets or commercial platforms must include data usage permissions. Declare all funding sources, commercial partnerships, and potential conflicts of interest.
