Micro/nanorobots for biomedicine: Delivery, surgery, sensing, and detoxification

Jinxing Li, Berta Esteban‐Fernández de Ávila, Wei Gao et al. · 1 Mar 2017

Micro- and nanoscale robots that can effectively convert diverse energy sources into movement and force represent a rapidly emerging and fascinating robotics research area. Recent advances in the design, fabrication, and operation of micro/nanorobots have greatly enhanced their power, function, and versatility. The new capabilities of these tiny untethered machines indicate immense potential for a…

Soft robotics: Technologies and systems pushing the boundaries of robot abilities

Cecilia Laschi, Barbara Mazzolai, Matteo Cianchetti · 6 Dec 2016

The proliferation of soft robotics research worldwide has brought substantial achievements in terms of principles, models, technologies, techniques, and prototypes of soft robots. Such achievements are reviewed here in terms of the abilities that they provide robots that were not possible before. An analysis of the evolution of this field shows how, after a few…

Social robots for education: A review

Tony Belpaeme, James Kennedy, Aditi Ramachandran et al. · 15 Aug 2018

Social robots can be used in education as tutors or peer learners. They have been shown to be effective at increasing cognitive and affective outcomes and have achieved outcomes similar to those of human tutoring on restricted tasks. This is largely because of their physical presence, which traditional learning technologies lack. We review the potential…

Learning agile and dynamic motor skills for legged robots

Jemin Hwangbo, Joonho Lee, Alexey Dosovitskiy et al. · 17 Jan 2019

Legged robots pose one of the greatest challenges in robotics. Dynamic and agile maneuvers of animals cannot be imitated by existing methods that are crafted by humans. A compelling alternative is reinforcement learning, which requires minimal craftsmanship and promotes the natural evolution of a control policy. However, so far, reinforcement learning research for legged robots…

Science Robotics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Science Robotics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Science Robotics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AAAS (Science) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Science Robotics use?
Science Robotics uses Superscript numbered (Science) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title. Science Robotics 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Science Robotics?
No. DocuGuru generates the article LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AAAS (Science)-ready Science Robotics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Science Robotics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Science Robotics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Science Robotics?
Science family journal (AAAS). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by AAAS (Science).
Can I export a submission-ready Science Robotics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Science Robotics template (the article class) that is ready to submit to AAAS (Science), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Science Robotics template cost?
You can start writing in the Science Robotics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Science Robotics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
