[4.1] Magazines, Journals, Newsletters

There are a number of academic journals and trade magazines devoted to robotics. Until recently, there are no magazines currently devoted to the hobbyist or designer of robotic mechanisms. In the 1980's Robotics Engineering (nee Robotics Age) lasted for 7-8 years but folded. Hopefully, there is more interest in robotics today to support these periodicals.

[4.1.1] Robotics Publications

This list of periodical covers the academic journals, the trade magazines devoted to both robotics and relevant sub-areas, and the lone newsletter for hobbyists.
