Invited speakers: Dr Mini Saag – University of Surrey, UK Prof Frank Sottile - Texas A&M University, USA Prof Stefano Stramigioli - University of Twente, The Netherlands Call for Papers Researchers are invited to submit a 300 word abstract by 3rd April 2020 and then original technical contributions in the form of full papers of at most 8 pages by 17th April 2020. All contributions will be peer reviewed and acceptance will be based on the results of the review process. The proceedings will be published in Springer’s Proceedings in Advanced Robotics. For further information regarding this, please contact the Conferences Department. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to a journal or any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper available online. Before submitting a paper, please ensure that it follows Springer's guidelines. Further information and templates can be downloaded from their website linked below: Springer's Guidelines Full papers must be submitted viahttps://my.ima.org.uk by 17 April 2020. All submissions are subject to rigorous review before an acceptance decision is made. |
