The world’s first open research publishing platform dedicated to the science and technology of collaborative robots is now open for submissions.
This new publishing platform, known as Cobot, is a partnership between AUBO (Beijing) Intelligent Science and Technology Co. Ltd and F1000, the open research publishing arm of Taylor & Francis Group. It enables all research outputs to be published open access and will have the benefits of open science practices, such as open and named peer review, that assure quality and transparency.
The publishing platform provides a research communication outlet of innovative technologies for technicians, researchers, scholars and experts, who are working in the field of collaborative robots. Collaborative robots, or “cobots” are robots intended to work side-by-side and in collaboration with human beings. These machines focus on repetitive tasks to help workers focus more on tasks that require problem-solving skills.
The scope of Cobot includes, but is not limited to, scientific and technical research topics in intelligent robots, artificial intelligence, human-machine collaboration, human-machine integration, machine vision, intelligent sensing, smart materials, and more. This also includes the design, development and testing of collaborative robots and relevant software, as well as case studies focused on their wide-ranging use and applications.
Along with research articles and case studies, Cobot features a variety of article types including method articles, study protocols, software tools, systematic reviews, data notes, brief reports, and opinion articles.
The platform is now open for submissions: http://collaborative-robot.org/
