Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) has joined forces with the international publisher Wiley to launch a new English-language journal, SmartBot, which aims to advance the field of robotics by exploring the convergence of robotics with other disciplines.

• Robot manufacturing
• Humanoid robots
• Medical robots
• Artificial intelligence
• Human-computer interactions

The editorial board of SmartBot comprises 49 scholars from 20 countries and regions, with Bradley Nelson, a member of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences, serving as the editor-in-chief. In the journal’s first editorial, Nelson stated that SmartBot is “committed to bridging the gap between technological breakthroughs and real-world applications.”

SmartBot is an open access, multidisciplinary journal that covers a wide range of topics related to robotics. The journal’s first issue was published online in late March, featuring one editorial and five articles contributed by authors from China, Switzerland, Germany, and Japan.

Harbin Institute of Technology, founded in 1920, is a key Chinese university with notable strength in space science, robotics, and engineering. The university’s involvement in the launch of SmartBot is significant, given its long history of research and innovation in these areas.

“We are excited to launch SmartBot, a platform that brings together robotics researchers from around the world to share their knowledge and ideas,” said a spokesperson for HIT. “This collaboration with Wiley will enable us to reach a broader audience and advance the field of robotics.”

As a leading international publisher, Wiley has a long history of publishing high-quality journals and books in the field of robotics. The company’s involvement in the launch of SmartBot is a testament to its commitment to advancing the field through innovative publishing.
