About the Journal

  • The Journal of Advanced Robotics and Automation (JARA) is a premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation technologies. We aim to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical industrial applications. The journal welcomes contributions that address the following core areas:

    • Robotics: Human-Robot Interaction, Soft Robotics, Swarm Intelligence, Medical Robotics, and Mobile Navigation.

    • Automation: Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Smart Manufacturing, PLC Systems, and Process Control.

    • Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning for Robotics, Computer Vision, Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Cognitive Systems.

    Peer Review Process: All manuscripts submitted to JARA undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Upon submission, the Editor-in-Chief first evaluates the manuscript for suitability and compliance with the journal's scope. Manuscripts that pass this initial screening are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers. The review process typically takes 4-6 weeks, ensuring timely feedback to authors.

    Publication Frequency: JARA is published biannually (two issues per year). Issues are released in June and December. Special issues focusing on emerging trends may be published intermittently.

    Open Access Policy: This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. There are no submission fees or article processing charges (APCs) for authors, thanks to the support of Universitas Teknologi Nusantara.

    Archiving: This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.
