[robocup-worldwide] [journals] CFP: Special Issue on "Advances in Inspection Robotic Systems" - Robotics (Indexed in Scopus and ESCI-Web of Science)

[Karina Gao]

Dear Colleagues,

Robotics is currently running a Special Issue entitled "Advances in
Inspection Robotic Systems". Dr. Erika Ottaviano and Prof. Hoon Sohn
are serving as Guest Editors for this issue. We sincerely invite you to
prepare a research article or a comprehensive review to be published in
this special issue.

[The inspection and monitoring of sites, structures, and infrastructure
have become a crucial issue for their sustainability and maintenance.
Although these tasks are repetitive and time-consuming, classical
approaches still rely largely on human activity. The development of
reliable mechatronic and robotic agents can be considered as an
efficient solution for the monitoring and inspection tasks, because they
can be effective in exploring dangerous or inaccessible sites at a
relatively low cost with an important reduction of the time required....]

Submit to this special issue: https://susy.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload

The submission deadline is *31 October 2019*. You may send your
manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be
under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors
to send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in
advance (robotics at mdpi.com or karina.gao at mdpi.com).

 From Volume 6, all papers published in Robotics will be added in Scopus.
Robotics is also indexed in the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), as
part of the ESCI database.

Robotics is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by
readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as
indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors
and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of 350 CHF
currently applies to all accepted papers. You may be entitled to a
discount if you have previously received a discount code or if your
institute is participating in the MDPI Institutional Open Access Program
(IOAP); for more information see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/ioap.
For further details on the submission process, please see the
instructions for authors on the journal website
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/robotics/instructions).

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Karina Gao
