Submissions open: Special Issue on Creative Approaches to Appropriation and Design: Novel Robotic Systems for Heterogeneous Contexts

We invite contributions on how robotic systems can be developed in participatory and creative ways or used in heterogeneous contexts (e.g., nursing homes, hospitals, factories, etc.) and what different disciplines can say about negotiation and design discoveries during the design processes or using robots (both speculative and in-situ use).

We want this to be the most up-to-date and impactful interdisciplinary collection of research on this topic.

Why publish in our Research Topic?

Alongside a top group of authors, your work will be published in Frontiers in Robotics and AI, a leading journal in the field with a Journal Impact Factor of 4.331 and a CiteScore of 4.6. You can read more about the collection here.

The deadline for abstract submission is 26/03/23 and for manuscript submission 26/07/23, but Frontiers’ fast-track review process, led by the editorial team, means each article is published online as soon as it’s been successfully peer-reviewed and accepted (typically within 61 days).

As an open access journal, publishing fees are applied to accepted articles. Please contact roboticsandai.submissions@frontiersin.org to discuss fees, institutional waivers, and discounts.
