The event has had an enormous growth since the 1st edition, both in the number of teams, participants and visitors and also includes an international IEEE conference where national an international researchers present their latest work in the field of Robotics (http://icarsc2016.ipb.pt/). The 16th edition of the Portuguese Robotics Open will be held in Bragança, Portugal, on May 4-8, 2016. The district of Bragança is located in Trás-os-Montes, in the northeast of Portugal, an attractive region known for its traditions, handicraft, gastronomy and its landscape. The regions located in the north part of the district, more cold and highest in altitude, are known as Terra Fria Transmontana and present a landscape dominated by plateaus and mountains, with deep and narrow valleys. More to the south, we find the region known as Terra Quente Trasmontana, of milder climate, marked by the Douro river and the valleys of its tributary rivers. In this region you can visit the Natural Park of Montesinho, the International Douro Park or the Protected Landscape of Azibo, where you can be marvel at the scenery with a diverse flora and fauna. It has very good connections by airport and highways. The Portuguese Robotics Open is currently an initiative of Portuguese Society of Robotics. Hoping to see you at Portuguese Robotics Open!

Website: http://events.coins-lab.org/springer_ros_book_v2.html The book will be published by Springer. We look forward to receiving your contributions to make this book successful and useful for ROS community. In Volume 1, we accepted 27 chapters ranging from beginners level to advanced level, including tutorials, case studies and research papers. The Volume 1 is expected to be released by Feb 2016.After negotiation with Springer, the authors have benefited of around 80% of discount on hardcopies as an incentive to their contribution, in addition to publishing their work. The call for chapters website (see above) presents in detail the scope of the book, the different categories of chapters, topics of interest, and submission procedure. There are also Book Chapter Editing Guidelines that authors need to comply with. In this volume, we intend to make a special focus on unmanned aerial vehicle using ROS. Papers that present the design of a new drone and its integration with ROS, simulation environments of unmanned aerial vehicle with ROS and SITL, ground station to drone communication protocols (e.g. MAVLink, MAVROS, etc), control of unmanned aerial vehicles, best practices to work with drones, etc. are particularly sought. In a nutshell, abstracts must be submitted by February 15, 2016 to register the chapters and to identify in advance any possible similarities of chapter contents. Full chapters submission is due on April 20, 2016.Submissions and the review process will be handle through EasyChair. https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rosbook2016 Each chapter will be reviewed by at least three expert reviewers, one at least should be a ROS user and/or developer. Want to be a reviewer for some chapters? We look for the collaboration of ROS community users to provide reviews and feedback about proposals and chapters to be submitted for the book. If you are interested to participate in the review process, please consider filling in the following reviewer interest form. We look forward to receiving your contribution for a successful ROS reference!
