Call for contributions: ICRA 2017 workshop – HMRSI due by February 15

We invite short papers of 2-4 pages in the standard IEEE ICRA conference format. Submissions should be in PDF format(<5MB). Please send the paper to mrs-icra2017@laas.fr by February 15. All the submissions will be reviewed based on relevance, technical quality, and novelty. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the workshop with a 1-minute lightning talk and to present their work as posters during the interactive session with posters prepared in advance.

Topics of interest must be in accordance with the workshop theme on human interaction with multi-robot systems. The general areas include but are not limited to:

  • Shared control
  • Physical human-robot interaction
  • Cognitive human-robot interaction
  • Social human-robot interaction
  • Swarm robotics
  • Multi-agent systems
  • Collaborative robotics

Important dates:

  • Feb 15: Submission deadline
  • Mar 15: Notification of acceptance
  • Jun 02: Workshop event (full-day)

 

This full-day workshop is supported by the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multi-Robot Systems, IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Human-Robot Interaction, and IEEE CSS Technical Committee on Manufacturing, Automation, and Robotic Control.
