Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the
Robotics and Autonomous Systems journal.
Paper Format:
All accepted papers, orals and posters, will be included in IEEE Xplore.
Submissions must be formatted in A4, two-column IEEE style. Papers can have
six pages, including references. Up to two extra pages are allowed.
Workshops and Tutorials:
Workshops and tutorials will be held on August 31st, the day before the main
conference. Workshops provide an informal forum for participants to discuss
emerging and active research areas in topics related to mobile robotics.
Tutorials should be designed for students and researchers wishing to learn
new tools, hardware, and practices in the area of mobile robotics.
Both, workshops and tutorials can be held half-day or full-day.
