Most-cited papers in Robotica

RepRap – the replicating rapid prototyper

Rhys Jones, P. Haufe, Edward Sells et al. · 1 Jan 2011

SUMMARY This paper presents the results to date of the RepRap project – an ongoing project that has made and distributed freely a replicating rapid prototyper. We give the background reasoning that led to the invention of the machine, the selection of the processes that we and others have used to implement it, the designs…

Algorithms for collision-free navigation of mobile robots in complex cluttered environments: a survey

Michael Hoy, Alexey S. Matveev, Andrey V. Savkin · 4 Mar 2014

SUMMARY We review a range of techniques related to navigation of unmanned vehicles through unknown environments with obstacles, especially those that rigorously ensure collision avoidance (given certain assumptions about the system). This topic continues to be an active area of research, and we highlight some directions in which available approaches may be improved. The paper…

High-speed manipulation by using parallel wire-driven robots

Sadao Kawamura, Hitoshi Kino, Won Choe · 1 Jan 2000

A new type of a parallel wire-driven robot is proposed in order to reach ultra-high speed. The driving principle of parallel wire systems is described. Since wires can only pull and not push on an object, at least n +1 wires are needed in order to move the object in a n -dimensional space. In…

Control of flexible manipulators: A survey

Mouhacine Benosman, Georges Le Vey · 19 Aug 2004

A survey of the field of control for flexible multi-link robots is presented. This research area has drawn great attention during the last two decades, and seems to be somewhat less “attractive” now, due to the many satisfactory results already obtained, but also because of the complex nature of the remaining open problems. Thus it…

An overview of robot force control

Ganwen Zeng, Ahmad Hemami · 1 Sep 1997

This paper reports on the existing robot force control algorithms and their composition based on the review of 75 papers on this subject. The objective is to provide a pragmatic exposition with speciality on their differences and different application conditions, and to give a guide of the existing robot force control algorithms. The previous work…

Robotica template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Robotica format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Robotica template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Robotica use?
Robotica uses Numbered references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers 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, and C. Lee, A representative article title, Robotica 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Robotica?
No. DocuGuru generates the null LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Cambridge University Press-ready Robotica 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 Robotica template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Robotica format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Robotica?
Robotica is a multidisciplinary journal published by Cambridge University Press. DocuGuru's Robotica template matches Cambridge University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Robotica PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Robotica template (the null class) that is ready to submit to Cambridge University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Robotica template cost?
You can start writing in the Robotica template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Robotica PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
