《IEEE機器人學匯刊》（T-RO）發表了機器人學各方面的基礎論文，主要涉及計算機科學、控制系統、電氣工程、數學、機械工程和其他領域的跨學科方法。機器人和智能機器和系統在工業應用、服務和個人助理、外科手術、空間、水下和遠程探索、娛樂、安全、搜索和救援、軍事應用、農業應用和智能車輛等領域至關重要。在T-RO中特別強調的是用于非結構化環境的智能機器和系統，其中很大一部分環境是未知的，無法直接感知或控制。

The IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) publishes fundamental papers on all aspects of Robotics, featuring interdisciplinary approaches from computer science, control systems, electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, and other fields. Robots and intelligent machines and systems are critical in areas such as industrial applications; service and personal assistants; surgical operations; space, underwater, and remote exploration; entertainment; safety, search, and rescue; military applications; agriculture applications; and intelligent vehicles. Special emphasis in the T-RO is placed on intelligent machines and systems for unstructured environments, where a significant portion of the environment is unknown and cannot be directly sensed or controlled.
