Paper Submission information

We invite early-career researchers, roboticists, and members from different scientific communities to submit contributions. We will especially encourage women and young researchers' participation, in order to support gender balance in robotics and the promotion of early-career researchers to present themselves to the community. 

The papers will be peer-reviewed (single-blind) for the relevance of content to the workshop and basic quality. The selected extended abstracts and videos will be disseminated and available in this website. Accepted manuscripts will be invited to present a teaser of their work to all participants of the workshop (single-track presentation). The spotlight teasers will be accompanied by posters during the interactive session at the coffee-break.

Best Paper Award - Powered by OneMunich Initiative 

The award for the best-extended abstract will reflect both the quality of the document, as well as the quality of the presentation and the poster interaction. We are also very happy to announce that the OneMunich Strategy Forum Project has also offered a 500 € prize award for the winner!!!  

An independent committee will be selected to judge the contributions and select the winner.
Get ready and prepare your best work!
