Journal of Field Robotics

期刊简介：The Journal of Field Robotics seeks to promote scholarly publications dealing with the fundamentals of robotics in unstructured and dynamic environments. Articles describing robotics research with applications to the environment, construction, forestry, agriculture, mining, subsea, intelligent highways, search and rescue, military, and space (orbital and planetary) are encouraged. Papers in sensing, sensors, mechanical design, computing architectures, communication, planning, learning, and control, applied to field applications are encouraged.The Journal focuses on experimental robotics and encourages publication of work that has both theoretical and practical significance. Authors will be encouraged to implement their work and demonstrate its utility on significant problems with emphasis on the underlying principles. That is, the Journal will encourage reporting on what was learned in doing the work, rather than merely on what was done. Also encouraged are comparative or meta-studies and verification of previously published results as well as reports of extended field experiments that seek to validate autonomous systems in representative environments. Systems papers will be welcome but they must include analysis and insight into why approaches work and the challenges still to be addressed. Studies of systems that have been fielded over extended durations are encouraged. The journal will publish only articles of high quality rather than achieving a particular number of papers or a ratio of accepted papers to those submitted.

【译文】《现场机器人杂志》致力于推广关于非结构化和动态环境中机器人基础研究的学术出版物。鼓励发表将机器人研究应用于环境、建筑、林业、农业、采矿、海底、智能高速公路、搜索与救援、军事和太空（轨道和行星）的文章。鼓励发表关于传感、传感器、机械设计、计算架构、通信、规划、学习和控制等方面的论文，这些论文应用于现场应用。该杂志专注于实验机器人，并鼓励发表既有理论意义又有实际意义的工作。鼓励作者实施他们的工作，并在具有重大意义的问题上展示其效用，强调基本原理。也就是说，该杂志将鼓励报告在完成工作的过程中学到了什么，而不仅仅是做了什么。还鼓励比较或元研究和验证先前发表的结果，以及报告在代表性环境中寻求验证自主系统的扩展现场实验。欢迎系统论文，但它们必须包括分析和对为什么方法有效以及仍需解决的问题的见解。鼓励研究在长时间内部署的系统。
