Call for EXTENDED ABSTRACTS:

Workshop “Benefits and Risks of Robot Learning in Medical Applications” at IROS 2022 invites submissions of extended abstracts. The goals of this workshop are to provide a platform to discuss existing challenges, new ideas, and resources and disseminate the latest results.

FORMAT

Authors should submit an extended abstract (max 2 pages) as a PDF in the standard IEEE conference format, before the submission deadline of September 20, 2022. Before the workshop, authors of the accepted abstracts are required to submit a one-page slide to the organizer. They will have 3 minutes to introduce their work in a poster pitch session. The workshop will offer the Best Abstract Awards to the three best abstracts (First, Second and Third Place) with a prize of up to 500 USD (sponsored by MicroPort® MedBot®).

Live demos or videos are highly encouraged. Please communicate with the organizers if you need any help, for example, extra space, power, or equipment for your demo.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The manuscript should be submitted through the EasyChair platform: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=rolemapiros2022. The manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two reviewers and selected based on their novelty, contribution, relevance, technical clarity, and presentation. Accepted manuscripts will be available on the workshop homepage. The authors of the accepted manuscripts are expected to give a 3 min presentation of their work either on-site or remotely.
