Science Robotics publishes research on the design, control, and application of robotic systems. Topics include robotic surgery, collective robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles for environmental monitoring, adaptive robot control, and the integration of artificial intelligence and vision-language models for robotic manipulation and interaction. The journal also explores the theoretical principles of robot design, such as dynamic symmetry, and discusses the societal implications of robotics, including human-robot collaboration and the potential impact on the workforce.
