eISSN: 1942-4310

CODEN: JMROA6

Frequency: Quarterly

Scope:

Theoretical and applied kinematics, innovative manipulator design, walking machines, mechanical hands, grasping, fixturing, compliant mechanisms, electro-mechanical systems, and articulated systems ranging from micro- and nanometer dimensions to large scale space structures.

The ASME Letters in Translational Robotics will provide rapid publication of high quality, translational research results, demonstrated with a prototype leading to a minimally viable product. It will also include archival innovations that lead to new best practice in design, realization and deployment of robotic devices and systems. It will bring advances in robotics research to the practicing engineer by emphasizing creative solutions to real-world problems and sharing innovations in implementation details. By considering shorter-form papers, as well as traditional length papers in an accelerated timeframe, this journal will expedite the application and translation of science, engineering and design principles in robotics into new or improved technological products. It will support use-inspired, translational research that will drive future robotic technologies and engineering solutions with societal impact.

CODEN: ALTRAS

Frequency: Quarterly

Scope:

Translational research results demonstrated with prototypes leading to a minimally viable product such as: Use-inspired design (function, form, architecture, operation), innovations and associated risks, and the practical implementation; Challenges and solutions for integration of large multidisciplinary projects; Application-driven robot architectures that encompass agents, tasks, and operational environment. Identify challenges, find innovative solutions, and develop performance measurements. Provide examples of such innovation and invention; Innovative designs (components, subsystems, and systems); Validation of innovation and impact on real-world problems; Methods for design, analysis and algorithms leading to real, reliable robots; Innovations in system integration, and use-inspired cyber-physical systems; Case studies of application by a manufacturer or end user; Innovations and practices in robot design for safe implementation of robotic devices and systems; Reduction of robot patents to practice.

The ASME Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD) serves the broad design community as the venue for scholarly,  archival research in all aspects of the design activity. JMD has traditionally served the ASME Design Engineering Division and its technical committees, but it welcomes contributions from all areas of design with emphasis on synthesis.

The ASME Journal of Medical Devices presents papers on medical devices that improve diagnostic interventional and therapeutic treatments focusing on applied research and the development of new medical devices or instrumentation. It provides special coverage of novel devices that allow new surgical strategies, new methods of drug delivery, or possible reductions in the complexity, cost, or adverse results of health care. The Design Innovation category features papers focusing on novel devices, including some with limited clinical or engineering results. The Medical Device News section provides coverage of advances, trends, and events.

Scope: New medical sensors/actuators, orthopedic devices, cardiovascular devices, rehabilitation devices, neurological devices, bio-heat transfer devices, medical instrumentation, image guided intervention/treatment, endoscopic/laparoscopic devices, minimally invasive devices, human performance/force assessment, tissue engineered devices, drug/cell deliver systems, medical robotics, medical device design processes, medical device manufacturing, and human factors in medical devices.

The ASME Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering (JCISE) publishes articles related to Algorithms, Computational Methods, Computing Infrastructure, Computer-Interpretable Representations, Human-Computer Interfaces, Information Science, and/or System Architectures that aim to improve some aspect of product and system lifecycle (e.g., design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, disposal, recycling etc.). Applications considered in JCISE manuscripts should be relevant to the mechanical engineering discipline. Papers can be focused on fundamental research leading to new methods, or adaptation of existing methods for new applications.
