09 Robotics Publications
Description
This article is from the Robotics FAQ, by Kevin Dowling nivek@cs.cmu.edu with numerous contributions by others.
09 Robotics Publications
There are a number of academic journals and trade magazines devoted to
robotics. Until recently, there are no magazines currently devoted to
the hobbyist or designer of robotic mechanisms. In the 1980's Robotics
Engineering (nee Robotics Age) lasted for 7-8 years but folded.
Hopefully, there is more interest in robotics today to support these
periodicals.
This list of periodical covers the academic journals, the trade
magazines devoted to both robotics and relevant sub-areas, and the
lone newsletter for hobbyists.

"InterLingua Retrieval Service" InterLingua, an information retrieval
and translation company, will be making available (starting January,
1995) at no cost the tables-of-contents of selected Japanese
publications every month. This is part of a larger project in the
science / technology arena that we are engaged in, so it is possible
for us to make this information available at no obligation.
T-O-Cs of Japanese publications in the computer/electronics cateogry
will be posted on the Usenet group (comp.research.japan). However,
other T-O-Cs can be delivered via e-mail to you if you contact us with
your address and category preferences at the e-mail address below.
(Sorry, we are unable to deliver via post office or fax).
Below is a list of categories in which we are currently translating
T-O-Cs and making them available at no cost. Should you have any other
suggestions, please let us know. If there is sufficient interest in
other categories, we will consider making arrangements with Japanese
publishers.
Tables-of-contents from Japanese magazines will be available in the
following categories:
1. General engineering (robotics, materials, inventions and patents)
2. Mechanical engineering
3. Transportation engineering
4. Metal engineering
5. Chemistry and chemical engineering
6. Energy engineering
7. Nuclear engineering
8. Electrical engineering
9. Electronics and communication technology
10. Information science (software and hardware)
Again, these are the subject areas in which InterLingua is currently
engaged in translations and information retrieval. Any additional
suggestions are more than welcome.
