Robot-Focused Scientific Journals

'Science Robotics' is an Academic Journal for Studying Robots

— December 7, 2016 — Tech
'Science Robotics' is a new academic journal devoted to reporting new innovations in the field of robotics. There's no question that robotics have become a full-fledged area of scientific inquiry, and as such, it's about time that the scientific establishment has caught up. Science Robotics will be a way for scientists in all fields, and especially those studying robotics, to keep abreast of the most recent developments.

As the name of the journal suggests, Science Robotics is an imprint from the established 'Science' journal. While Science itself frequently covers robotics, the publication realized that stories about robotics were too common to remain in the broader journal that it sends out.

The first issue of Science Robotics was published today. It includes stories on a leaping robot developed by UC Berkeley researchers and an exoskeleton system that was able to restore motor function for a quadriplegic person.
Trend Themes
1. Robot-focused Academic Journals - The rise of robot-focused academic journals presents an opportunity for researchers and scientists to publish and share new innovations in the field of robotics.
2. Interdisciplinary Collaboration - The establishment of Science Robotics encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing scientists across different fields to contribute and exchange knowledge in robotics research.
3. Scientific Advancement in Robotics - Science Robotics serves as an indicator of the continuous scientific advancement in robotics, creating opportunities for further exploration and breakthroughs in the field.
Industry Implications
1. Academic Publishing - The emergence of robot-focused academic journals presents disruptive innovation opportunities in academic publishing, catering specifically to the growing field of robotics research.
2. Robotics Research and Development - Science Robotics provides a valuable platform for scientists and researchers in robotics research and development to showcase their discoveries, fostering innovation and collaboration within the industry.
3. Assistive Technology - The exoskeleton system featured in Science Robotics highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the assistive technology industry, particularly in improving motor function for individuals with physical impairments.
