Call for Papers
ROBOT'2019 â€“ Fourth Iberian Robotics Conference
https://web.fe.up.pt/~robot2019/
November 20-22, 2019
Porto â€“ Portugal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleague,
We are pleased to inform you that ROBOT'2019 â€“ Fourth Iberian Robotics
Conference will be held in Porto, Portugal, on November 20-22, 2019.
The conference is organized by SPR â€“ Sociedade Portuguesa de RobÃ³tica and
SEIDROB â€“ Sociedad EspaÃ±ola para la InvestigaciÃ³n y Desarrollo en RobÃ³tica
and will be held within the premises of the School of Engineering of the
Porto Polytechnic.

----------------
Conference Scope
----------------
ROBOT'2019 main goal is to continue the precedent efforts in showing the
robotic research and development of new applications in the Iberian
Peninsula. Although focused on the works developed at Iberia, the
conference is open for good quality submissions from any country in the
world.
ROBOTâ€™2019 will feature technical and social programs. The technical
program is organized around a main track and a set of Special Sessions, and
will also comprise plenary talks from internationally recognized robotics
researchers. All articles submitted for inclusion in the conference will be
peer reviewed before acceptance.
It is envisaged that all accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings, which will be published by Springer â€“ Advances in Intelligent
Systems and Computing Series, indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and
SCOPUS, as well as on CD/flash drive, subject to registration of at least
one author for presenting the work.
A selection of the conference presented best papers will also be
recommended for publication as extended versions in Special Issues from
international top Journals.

-----------------
Conference Topics
-----------------
The conference aims to gather researchers from the industry and academia to
present and discuss the latest trends in research and technology in the
fields of robotics and related areas.
We invite original contributions in all areas relevant to robotics,
covering mobile, walking, flying, marine, underwater, and industrial
robots. The conference will cover analysis (modelling and simulation)
techniques, design approaches, and practical applications and realisations
of developed robotic systems. Support technologies for realisation of such
systems, namely sensors and actuators, computer vision and image
processing, tactile & haptics devices, control algorithms and
architectures, localization, mapping and navigation, associated economic,
ethical, legal and social considerations are integral part of the
conference theme. Human-robot interaction, including medical robots,
exoskeletons, prostheses and orthoses, as well as personal and service
robots forms an increasingly active and important pertinent area.
Contributions from researchers, industry and outputs from collaboration
between industrial and academic R&D units are welcome in the following
topics:
- agricultural robotic systems
- assistive robotic
- biomimetic robots
- cloud computing
- cognitive systems
- cooperative systems
- control architectures
- decision support systems
- distributed & networked systems
- distributed robotic systems
- educational robotics
- ethical & legal robotic issues
- human-robot interaction
- humanoid robotics
- hybrid intelligent systems
- computer vision and image processing
- localization, mapping and navigation
- locomotion and actuation systems
- marine robotics
- medical robotics
- mobile robots
- multi-robot systems
- new mechanism design

Paper Submission
----------------
The technical program of the conference will feature Regular Papers and
Special Session Papers. All accepted papers will be published at the
Conference Proceedings published by Springer. Authors are invited to submit
their full draft papers in PDF format from the paper submission page of the
conference website by the indicated deadline for consideration for
inclusion in the relevant category (special/regular paper). Articles
submitted for inclusion in the conference will be peer reviewed before
acceptance. Final accepted papers will be limited to 12 pages in length and
must follow the Springer AISC template, given in the Call & Instructions
web page.
