In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid growth in not only the 
theory, but also the development and application of advanced robots, 
such as the humanoid robot. Traditionally, "Robotics R&D" focused first 
on mechanics, modeling, planning, and control. Today, however, it is 
necessary to study both the artificial body and artificial mind at the 
same time. Thus, the humanoid robot seems an adroit platform to 
investigate mind-body interaction, or psycho-somatic engineering, which 
also includes artificial psychology, and the science of learning.

We welcome papers in the following categories:

*   	Research articles, which address relevant areas contributing to 
both the mental and physical development of advanced robots, such as 
humanoid robots or biologically-inspired robots.
*   	Reviews which describe, in non-technical terms, the latest in basic 
theories, principles, and algorithmic solutions.
*   	Short articles (e.g. feature articles and dialogues), which discuss 
the latest significant achievements and the future trends in robotics R&D.
*   	Papers on Curriculum Development in Humanoid Robot Education.
*   	Book Reviews.

Audience
This journal will disseminate, in a timely manner, the latest 
advancements in the development and application of advanced robots to a 
wide audience of professionals. More specifically, this journal will 
serve as an excellent resource of information for:

*   	Engineering-scientists and specialists in Intelligent & Cognitive 
Robotics, Cognitive Science, Artificial Psychology, Neuroscience, and 
Linguistics.
*   	Corporate executives, government officers, educators, students, and 
all those with an interest in enabling technology and promising 
applications made possible by advanced robots, such as humanoid robots.

This journal suits all researchers in the areas of Robotics, 
Mechatronics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Engineering, Artificial 
Psychology, and Artificial Intelligence. In particular, the areas it 
covers include, but are not limited to:

*   	Mental Architecture
*   	Development and Learning
*   	Adaptation
*   	Perception
*   	Decision-making (e.g. Probabilistic Robotics, Soft Computing)
