SAGE and Springer have launched a landmark joint-special issue between The International Journal of Robotics Research and International Journal of Computer Vision to bring together ground breaking research from both the Robotics and Computing communities.

This ground-breaking agreement supports both SAGE and Springer’s desire to offer boundless access to research in these important fields. As a result, both publishers will be offering free access to this issue online for perpetuity.

Fourteen original research papers, divided between the two journals, highlight the importance of the interaction between computers and vision, and provide an ideal briefing for researchers on the latest developments at the interface of the two fields. Subjects covered include vision-based navigation, vision-based control and human-robot interaction.

The joint-special issue is available online now and is free to access.
