Submissions

We invite students and researchers to submit a poster or one to two-page abstract highlighting a benchmarking challenge they have encountered in their research. The focus should be on the field of research, methodologies, and testing procedures, providing insights into the complexities of evaluating soft robotic technologies.

The selected abstracts - from each category (modelling and simulations, sensing, and control) - will be invited for a 3-minute lightning talk during the workshop, offering an opportunity to get in touch with leading experts in their field. The best posters - two from each category (simulation, sensing and control) - will be selected to deliver a 90-seconds teaser to invite researchers to their posters, displayed at the workshop.

Submission Details:

• Poster format: vertical A1/A2 size

• Topic: Baselines and Benchmarks; Benchmarking Modelling; Benchmarking Simulations; Benchmarking Controls; Baseline Controller; Data standardization protocols; Data acquisition approaches; Characterization and calibration methodologies; Reproducibility; Evaluation metrics; Comparative analysis; Format of testing and reporting results. 

• Submission Deadline: 31/08/2025

• Send your submission to m.nazeer@nus.edu.sg with subject: [BSR-WS] Name Surname - Target Area
  Please submit the poster using the following name format: "Name_Surname_targetArea.pdf".
  There are three target areas - Modelling, Simulations, Sensing and Control.
  Example submission: [BSR-WS] Sunny Nazeer - Controls. (file name: Sunny_Nazeer_controls.pdf).

Don’t miss this chance to share your research and engage in discussions shaping the benchmarking trends in soft robotics!
