《智能和機器人系統雜志》填補了智能系統和機器人學各領域理論和實踐之間的空白。它發表了從最初的概念和理論到原型設計到最終產品開發和商業化的原創、同行評審的貢獻。從理論上講，該期刊的主要論文集中在智能系統工程、分布式智能系統、多層次系統、智能控制、多機器人系統、無人駕駛車輛系統的合作與協調等方面。在應用方面，該雜志強調自主系統、工業機器人系統、多機器人系統、飛行器、移動機器人平臺、水下機器人、傳感器、傳感器融合和基于傳感器的控制。讀者還將找到有關智能和機器人系統實際應用的論文（例如，機電一體化、制造、生物醫學、水下、人形、移動/腿機器人和空間應用等）。

The Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems bridges the gap between theory and practice in all areas of intelligent systems and robotics. It publishes original, peer reviewed contributions from initial concept and theory to prototyping to final product development and commercialization.On the theoretical side, the journal features papers focusing on intelligent systems engineering, distributed intelligence systems, multi-level systems, intelligent control, multi-robot systems, cooperation and coordination of unmanned vehicle systems, etc.On the application side, the journal emphasizes autonomous systems, industrial robotic systems, multi-robot systems, aerial vehicles, mobile robot platforms, underwater robots, sensors, sensor-fusion, and sensor-based control. Readers will also find papers on real applications of intelligent and robotic systems (e.g., mechatronics, manufacturing, biomedical, underwater, humanoid, mobile/legged robot and space applications, etc.).
