Most-cited papers in IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine

Simultaneous localization and mapping: part I

Hugh Durrant‐Whyte, T. Bailey · 1 Jun 2006

This paper describes the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem and the essential methods for solving the SLAM problem and summarizes key implementations and demonstrations of the method. While there are still many practical issues to overcome, especially in more complex outdoor environments, the general SLAM method is now a well understood and established part…

The dynamic window approach to collision avoidance

D. Fox, Wolfram Burgard, Sebastian Thrun · 1 Mar 1997

This approach, designed for mobile robots equipped with synchro-drives, is derived directly from the motion dynamics of the robot. In experiments, the dynamic window approach safely controlled the mobile robot RHINO at speeds of up to 95 cm/sec, in populated and dynamic environments.

The Uncanny Valley [From the Field]

Masahiro Mori, Karl F. MacDorman, Norri Kageki · 1 Jun 2012

More than 40 years ago, Masahiro Mori, a robotics professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, wrote an essay [1] on how he envisioned people's reactions to robots that looked and acted almost like a human. In particular, he hypothesized that a person's response to a humanlike robot would abruptly shift from empathy to revulsion…

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM): part II

T. Bailey, Hugh Durrant‐Whyte · 23 Aug 2006

This paper discusses the recursive Bayesian formulation of the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem in which probability distributions or estimates of absolute or relative locations of landmarks and vehicle pose are obtained. The paper focuses on three key areas: computational complexity; data association; and environment representation.

Visual servo control. I. Basic approaches

François Chaumette, Seth Hutchinson · 1 Dec 2006

This paper is the first of a two-part series on the topic of visual servo control using computer vision data in the servo loop to control the motion of a robot. In this paper, we describe the basic techniques that are by now well established in the field. We first give a general overview of…

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine use?
IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine uses Numbered (IEEE) 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," IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEtran LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine 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 IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine?
IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine is a engineering and computer science journal published by IEEE. DocuGuru's IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine template matches IEEE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine template (the IEEEtran class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
