[Nuno Lau]

Dear colleagues,

the Call for Papers of the Robot 2017, next November 22-24 in Seville,
is now open.

Below you will find a summary of relevant information. The detais are in
the web: 
https://grvc.us.es/robot2017

We have a list of excellent plenary speakers including:
- Oussama Khatib (Stanford University, USA)
- Alin Albu-Schäffer (DLR, Germany) and 
- Dario Floreano (EPFL, Switzerland).

We are looking to the presentation of new robotics methods, technologies
and applications by universities, research and technology centers, and
industries. Robot 2017  welcomes industrial participation (developers
and end-users) looking to promote new application projects. Thus, in
addition of regular papers, it is possible to present industrial short
papers with only two pages (see below).

The deadline for Paper presentations is next June 30.

Please submit your papers before this deadline and enjoy the
presentation of top results in robotics at Robot 2017. We are looking to
meet you in Sevilla next November 22-24, 2017.

Best regards.

Anibal Ollero
On behalf of the General/Program Chairs.

ROBOT'2017: Third Iberian Robotics Conference
November 22-24, 2017
Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería, Sevilla (Spain)
https://grvc.us.es/robot2017/

ROBOT´2017 follows the First Iberian Robotics Conference held in Madrid
in 2013 and the Second Iberian Robotics Conference held in Lisbon in
2015. These previous and successful events, both from the viewpoint of
their scientific and technical quality, and for the important number of
attending delegates, have motivated us in organizing ROBOT 2017.

The conference will explore the future of robotics and relations of
Robotics with other fields in its frontiers. The conference will include
a Round Table organized by CDTI to discuss the industrial collaboration
and to present success stories of these collaborations.

As in previous editions, the conference proceedings will be published by
Springer - Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series, indexed
by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and SCOPUS. Extended versions of the
conference best papers will also be published in Special Issues of top
Journals.

Robot’2017 is Organized by Sociedad Española para la Investigación y
Desarrollo en Robótica (SEIDROB) and the Sociedade Portuguesa de
Robótica (SPR), with the collaboration of the “Red de Agentes Físicos”
and the support of the Spanish Network for Robotics and Mechatronics
(REDROM).
