Laboratory Robotics and Automation seeks to communicate developments and
information about the automation of the laboratory. Application areas
generally include analytical, environmental, synthetic, and clinical
laboratories.

In the area of robotics, the journal is interested in applications of
commercially available robots, robot peripherals, and other robotics
developments that may have an impact on laboratory automation. In the area
of automation, we seek to explore applications and uses of automated
systems in the laboratory, including flow injection analysis (FIA) in its
various forms, other continuous flow systems, and dedicated automated
systems such as those that might be used in clinical and other
laboratories. The journal also intends to publish information about the
development and uses of automated workstations, as well as the
applications of automation in chromatography, spectroscopy, and related
systems.

Other facets of automation included in the scope and goals of the journal
are automated date interpretation, including artificial intelligence (AI),
neural networks, and related systems. Human computer interfaces, including
graphical interfaces to automated systems, and software design are
becoming increasingly important to laboratory automation, and these are
important components of the scope. Quality assurance activities involved
in the use of automated systems are a critical element and are addressed.
Finally, the use of sensors and their applicability to laboratory
automation are also included in the journal's scope.

Laboratory Robotics and Automation will also publish critical comparisons
of various systems, tutorials on different aspects of the technologies,
technical notes, automation aids, book and software reviews, and other
information of use to those in laboratory automation. We seek information
on the uses of automation and automated systems in education, and
extensive review articles on some particular component of laboratory
automation.
