Robot Information (i.e., Refereed Journals)

[indieFan]

I have been asked to look into new robots for my job. Does anyone know of a quality magazine (preferably online) or other source that describes current robots and their capabilities?

Thanks,

doesnt popular science or popular mechanics have write-ups on robots every now and then?

Try Robot Magazine (http://www.botmag.com/).

Servo Magazine (http://www.servomagazine.com/) is also very good, although geared mostly toward personal/hobby robotics.

A respected, refereed journal is IEEE Transactions on Robotics (http://www.ieee.org/portal/site/mainsite/menuitem.818c0c39e85ef176fb2275875bac26c8/index.jsp?&pName=corp_level1&path=pubs/transactions&file=tra.xml&xsl=generic.xsl). Some university libararies will have this in paper form, as will some academic departments or individual faculty members. It is also available online, but only to members of the the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.
