The International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems (IJARS) is the first Open Access robotics journal in the Science, Technology and Medicine field. Currently in its 11th Volume, the journal is also the only openly accessible robotics publication to be indexed by ISI Thomson Reuters. With 13 topics each managed by a topic-related Editorial Board and a Topic Editor-in-Chief, IJARS integrates all aspects of robotics research in a single publication. In celebration of IJARS’s 10th year anniversary, the editorial team has launched a Video Series section featuring robotics-related videos as an addition to the journal’s current portfolio. This section will regularly feature video interviews and lectures showcasing the latest research and application novelties within the field of robotics, as well as personal overviews on the state of robotics by some of the currently most active robotics professional worldwide.
