The International Journal of Mechatronics, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence (IJMRAI) was founded to create a dedicated, high-quality venue for the rapidly converging fields of intelligent engineering and science.
Launched in May 2025, IJMRAI was established by a group of forward-thinking academics and industry professionals who recognized the need for a specialized platform to disseminate cutting-edge research in mechatronics, robotics, and AI. From its inception, the journal was built on the core principles of academic rigor, open access, and global collaboration. The founding mission was simple yet ambitious: to accelerate innovation by making pivotal research freely and immediately accessible to a worldwide audience, without financial barriers for authors or readers.
May 2025: IJMRAI officially launches its first call for papers. The journal is established as a fully open-access publication with no article processing charges (APCs), ensuring equitable access for all researchers.
Commitment to Open Science: From day one, all articles were published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY-NC 4.0) License, promoting the unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of scholarly work. This decision solidified our commitment to fostering a collaborative and transparent research ecosystem.
Inaugural Issue: The publication of our first issue marked a significant achievement, featuring pioneering work from international researchers across our core disciplines: mechatronics, robotics, AI, automatic control, and intelligent systems.
The history of IJMRAI is guided by a steadfast belief that knowledge should be a shared resource. By removing paywalls and publication fees, we empower researchers from diverse backgrounds to contribute to and benefit from the latest scientific advancements. Our rigorous peer-review process ensures that we publish only work of the highest quality and impact, solidifying our reputation as a trusted source in the scientific community.
As we move forward, IJMRAI remains dedicated to its founding vision. We aim to continue expanding our scope to embrace emerging sub-disciplines, foster international partnerships, and serve as a vital hub for the next generation of innovators in mechatronics, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Our history is just beginning, and we are excited to shape the future of intelligent systems research together with our authors, reviewers, and readers.
