We’ve extended the deadline for the Robotica special issue on computational robot design and customization. Submissions will be accepted until January 15. Looking forward to seeing your submissions!

The goal of the special issue will be to address questions such as:

The special issue focuses on the following two questions:

1. How can computational approaches enhance workflow and facilitate the design and rapid prototyping of robots?
2. How can new materials and manufacturing approaches lead to uniform processes for fabricating robots on-demand?

Paper submission: January 15, 2019
Target publication: June 2020
