Scope
The section is dedicated to publishing new and important findings in the rapidly expanding field of space robotics. Space robotics is broadly defined as the intersection of control, articulated mechanisms, artificial intelligence, path-planning, computer vision, astrodynamics and space sciences. Due to the increased interest in robotic and autonomous systems for operations in a space environment ‒ either in the vicinity of Earth or on other planets and asteroids ‒ we are planning to cover these areas as well as in-orbit satellite servicing, inspection, refueling and health monitoring. In the foreseeable future, most space missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) will depend heavily on robotic systems. Even for manned space missions, robotic systems is envisioned to play a major role and act as “co-workers”.As part of the Space Robotics section we welcome submissions that investigate new algorithms for robotic mechanisms, autonomous satellites and spacecraft that deal with the peculiarities and challenges of the space environment: zero-g environment, high contrast and often changing illumination conditions, limited on-board energy, power and computational resources, radiation, few references points for relative navigation, just to name a few. Furthermore, we welcome submissions that address shared autonomy (human-robot interaction) in space. While the emphasis is mainly on algorithms for supporting robotic autonomous and semi-autonomous operations in space, we would welcome experimental demonstrations of prior developed algorithms. Articles dealing with more general topics such as necessary infrastructure architectures and sensor and actuator development to support future robotic missions are also within the scope of this section.

Space Robotics welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Code, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Space Robotics, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Space 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 Astronomy and Space Sciences and Robotics and AI.
