Scope

Humanoid Robotics represents the ultimate integration of engineering disciplines in machines of human-like shape and function. The goal is to mimic human skills both to improve current automation in a variety of domains and to understand how the human body & brain solve everyday tasks.

The human shape entails the ability to move in spaces designed for human beings, utilizing the same tools and machines as well as cooperating with them. Topics of interest for Humanoid Robotics therefore span from control of walking to grasping, from manipulation to tool use, using a plethora of sensing modalities as e.g. vision, touch, hearing as well as inertial and proprioceptive mechanisms.

The variety of tasks leads to complexity which in turn requires specialized methods for learning, reasoning, cognizing about the environment in order to take the best possible course of action. Since it is likely that humanoid robots interact with humans, the topics of human-robot interaction are also paramount.

The application domains of humanoid technologies are broad, as we can imagine for example, humanoids being employed to assist the elderly, in search and rescue missions, to intervene in case of natural or man-made disaster, as helpers in the factory with a flexibility only limited by our imagination. In this context, Humanoid Robotics is the first publication forum that aims at publishing both the detailed deep analysis of specific methods, engineering solutions and techniques and systems engineering work that describe the achievements of fully functional humanoid systems.

Submission

Humanoid Robotics welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology and Code.

All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Humanoid Robotics, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.

Articles published in the section Humanoid Robotics will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Robotics and AI.
