Journal of Field Robotics (JFR)

The Journal of Field Robotics is an internationally recognized, peer‑reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing research and applications of robotics beyond laboratory settings. Since its inception in 2006, the journal has served as a premier forum for high‑quality theoretical, experimental, and applied research that pushes the boundaries of autonomy and robustness in robotic systems operating in complex, dynamic, and often unpredictable environments. Field robotics encompasses a broad range of real‑world scenarios, including underwater exploration, agriculture, mining, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, industrial environments, and planetary exploration — contexts where robots must cope with uneven terrain, variable lighting, sensor noise, and communication constraints. The journal publishes articles on autonomous navigation, sensor integration (LiDAR, vision, radar), path planning, adaptive control, machine learning for robotics, and human‑robot collaboration, among other advanced topics. As a hybrid publication by Wiley‑Blackwell, it attracts contributions from academia, industry research labs, and government research agencies. Its rigorous editorial review ensures that published work contributes substantive scientific innovation, practical insight, and technological advancement relevant to both researchers and practitioners in robotics and automation.
