Special Issues

Robot Learning runs virtual special issues to collect papers on cutting-edge topics, a special event, a group of scholars, etc. to build a community of authors and readers in discussing the latest ideas or research. The special issue publication would follow the normal peer review procedure and would be grouped together on the special issue website. For any special issue proposal, please contact the journal editorial office via rl@elspub.com.
