Poster Session FAQ:
What is the order for the lightning talks? The same order as the list above.
How long should each lightning talk be? A maximum of 60 seconds.
Can I show slides/media during my lightning talk? No. However, each presenter is encouraged to submit one image or figure that can be uploaded along with the final abstract and poster PDF on Friday, July 9. During each lightning talk, the title of the paper, as well as the image or figure (if provided), will be shown in the background by the workshop organizers.
The poster submission requirement is a 1-page PDF. Can I show additional media (e.g., video clips) during the interactive session? Yes. The final abstract and 1-page poster PDF will still be uploaded to this page on Monday, July 12. However, you can show additional media during the interactive session, if you'd like.
Submission Timeline and Instructions:
We invite submissions to our poster session from the robotics, simulation, and all related communities, on deformable object simulation and/or applications of such simulators.
Sunday, June 20:
Extended abstracts are due via our CMT submission page at 11:59 PM PT. The abstracts must be submitted as PDFs using the RSS 2021 LaTeX or Word paper template. The abstracts must have a maximum length of 2 pages, not including references. There is no requirement for specific section headers. An appendix containing additional figures and information can be uploaded as a supplemental document. All abstracts will undergo double-blind peer review; however, reviewers will not be required to review appendices.
Thursday, July 1:
Acceptance decisions will be announced via CMT.
Friday, July 9:
Camera-ready (i.e., final) version of abstract and poster are due via our CMT submission page at 11:59 PM PT. The poster must be a one-page PDF. There is no required template. However, please verify that the posters will be readable to viewers on a standard laptop screen during the interactive poster session.
Monday, July 12
RSS begins. Extended abstracts and posters will be posted on this website. Authors may also post them to arXiv if desired.
Thursday, July 15:
Day of workshop. Poster presenters will deliver lightning talks (i.e., up-to-60-second elevator pitches of their work) and participate in the virtual poster session (see Schedule of Events for specific timing).
The best poster of the workshop, as selected by the workshop organizers, will receive an NVIDIA GPU prize.
