Participation:

The accepted abstract will be assigned an oral presentation. For online participants, they can submit a presentation video that will be played in the poster pitch. All participants can create a poster to show their work and facilitate discussions.

Robot Demo:

We encourage participants to contribute to robot live demos. If you intend to provide a live demo, you can specify the demo information in the submission link, including a one-sentence description of the robot and its motion to be demonstrated, and reasonable requirements such as space, table, and power for the robots.

Awards:

There will be a poster award. Two groups of winners will be awarded with certificates and prizes (USD 500 for each).


Instructions for Final Submission (Latest Update on May 6)


For onsite participants, the action is to send us the following files/answer via https://forms.gle/8SsyeH7AMsHCbYTcA:

1) 1-page slide for 1-min presentation (PPT file name: AM-X/PM-X + contact person's name): The recommended slide has a .pptx extension and a size of 16:9. To play smoothly, please embed materials such as pictures and videos in the slide into the PPT file. The uploaded file size is less than 100M.

2) 1-page poster (PDF file name: AM-X/PM-X + contact person's name): Poster boards will be 950mm(width) x 2340mm(height), and we recommend not printing posters larger than A0 in portrait orientation.  There is no specific template for the posters. The uploaded file size is less than 10M. Note that onsite participants need to print the poster out by themselves. We will provide the material to attach the poster to the board. 

3) Please give us your answer about if we can put your poster on our workshop website.


For online participants, the action is to send us the following files/answer via https://forms.gle/8SsyeH7AMsHCbYTcA:

1) 1-min recorded video based on a one-page slide (mp4 file name: AM-X/PM-X + contact person's name): We will play the video for you. The uploaded file size is less than 100M.

2) 1-page poster (PDF file name: AM-X/PM-X + contact person's name): Poster boards will be 950mm(width) x 2340mm(height), and we recommend not printing posters larger than A0 in portrait orientation.  There is no specific template for the posters. The uploaded file size is less than 10M. Note that online participants are welcome to arrange for colleagues to display their posters if any, but displaying posters onsite is not compulsory for online participants.

3) Please give us your answer about if we can put your poster on our workshop website.


For the participants showing live robot demos, please send us an email to confirm your requirements that support demos. We will help check those with the conference organizers.
