About this journal

The International Journal of Robotics, Automation, and Control Systems (IJRACS) serves as a distinguished international platform for the rigorous dissemination of cutting-edge research and significant advancements across the interdependent disciplines of robotics, automation, and control engineering. The journal is committed to fostering scholarly discourse that transcends theoretical foundations to embrace practical applications, thereby addressing contemporary challenges and propelling innovation within these dynamic fields. IJRACS welcomes high-quality submissions that contribute substantially to the understanding and development of robotic systems, encompassing areas such as intelligent robotics, human-robot interaction, multi-robot coordination, autonomous navigation, and bio-inspired robotics. In automation, the scope extends to industrial automation, smart manufacturing processes, distributed control systems, cyber-physical systems, and advanced process control. For control systems, the journal covers robust control, adaptive control, optimal control, nonlinear control techniques, predictive control, networked control systems, and comprehensive system identification. Interdisciplinary research, particularly at the confluence of mechatronics, sensor fusion, artificial intelligence for control, and embedded systems, is especially encouraged. The journal publishes original research articles presenting novel methodologies and significant experimental results, comprehensive review articles offering critical perspectives, and concise technical notes detailing innovative applications or solutions. Submissions must demonstrate scientific rigor, sound engineering principles, and a clear contribution to the collective knowledge base. The primary readership includes academic researchers, industrial engineers, postgraduate students, and policymakers dedicated to the design, development, and deployment of advanced robotic, automated, and control systems. IJRACS is steadfast in its mission to advance these pivotal engineering disciplines through the publication of impactful scholarship.
