Journal of Climbing and Walking Robots (JCWR) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on the theory, design, development, and commercialisation of all types of robots with a special emphasis in the field of mobile robots and associated technologies. This is necessitated by the emergence and overwhelming development of service robots for application in various environments involving humans and close robot-human interactions.
The journal aims to serve as a leading international platform for researchers, academics, engineers, and industry innovators to share cutting-edge advances in mobile robots and associated technologies, including climbing, walking, legged, field, and bio-inspired robotic systems. By promoting research that enhances safety, performance, autonomy, and technology readiness, JCWR seeks to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical deployment, accelerating innovation and facilitating the adoption of robotic technologies in both established and emerging application domains.
