IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline for extended abstracts and videos: October 16, 2020
Notification of acceptance: October 19, 2020
Workshop day: October 29, 2020
Poster Session: November 17, 2020
During the workshop, there will be a time slot dedicated to extended abstract contributions. The interested participants are required to submit an extended abstract (2 pages maximum) related to the workshop's topics of interest, together with a 3 minutes teaser video that presents the contribution. The manuscript should use the IEEE RAS two-column template and a PDF copy needs to be submitted via e-mail to the organizers.
All submissions will be reviewed using a single-blind review process. The accepted contributions will be uploaded on the IROS platform using the teaser video submitted, and then extensively discussed in dedicated parallel sessions.
A Best Workshop Contribution Award will be presented to one poster discussed at the WS and selected by the Organizers .
