History

• The journal began in 1985 as the IEEE Journal on Robotics and Automation, founded by the IEEE Council on Robotics and Automation with George A. Bekey as its first editor-in-chief该刊 1985 年以 IEEE Journal on Robotics and Automation 之名创办，由 IEEE 机器人与自动化理事会创办，首任主编为 George A. Bekey。^[1]
• It was renamed IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation in 1989, with Russell Taylor taking over the editorship该刊 1989 年更名为 IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation，由 Russell Taylor 接任主编。
• In 2004 the journal was split into IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering and IEEE Transactions on Robotics2004 年该刊拆分为 IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering 与 IEEE Transactions on Robotics。
• It has been published by IEEE since its foundation and appears six times a year该刊自创刊起即由 IEEE 出版，每年出版六期。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Wolfram Burgard of the University of Technology Nuremberg in Germany, whose research covers artificial intelligence methods for mobile robots and autonomous systems, and he succeeded Kevin Lynch around 2023现任主编为德国纽伦堡工业大学的 Wolfram Burgard，其研究涵盖面向移动机器人与自主系统的人工智能方法，他大约在 2023 年接替 Kevin Lynch 上任。
• Senior editors such as Hanna Kurniawati of the Australian National University and a large body of associate editors drawn from Europe, the Americas and Asia handle submissions澳大利亚国立大学的 Hanna Kurniawati 等资深编辑，以及来自欧洲、美洲与亚洲的大量副编辑共同处理稿件。
• Papers undergo the standard IEEE peer review process, and authors may opt to present accepted work at ICRA, IROS or CASE论文经 IEEE 标准同行评审流程处理，作者可选择在 ICRA、IROS 或 CASE 会议上报告已录用成果。
• It is a hybrid open access journal, with an article processing charge of about 2645 US dollars where open access is chosen该刊为混合开放获取期刊，选择开放获取时需支付约 2645 美元的版面费。
