Best wishes, Lino Marques, Cristina Santos, José Lima, Danilo Tardioli, and Manuel Ferre =============================================== Call for Papers ROBOT2023 ? Sixth Iberian Robotics Conference http://robot2023.isr.uc.pt/ November 22 - 24, 2023 Coimbra - Portugal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sixth Iberian Robotics Conference will take place at the University of Coimbra on November 2023 and follows the previous editions of the Iberian Robotics Conference held in Zaragoza 2022, Madrid in 2013, Lisbon 2015, Seville 2017 and Porto 2019. 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 ROBOT2023. ROBOT2023 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 submissions from any country in the world. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series, indexed in Web of Science, dblp and SCOPUS. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved contribution to the Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems (JINT) (https://www.springer.com/journal/10846). The best industry-related papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Emerald Industrial Robot journal (https://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/issn/0143-991x). The conference will also award a prize for the Best Paper and the Best Student Paper, the Best Iberian PhD in Robotics and Best Spanish Master Thesis (see details here). The winners of the best paper and the best student paper will be awarded by Springer with a year of free access to JINT and a book for the value of 150 euros from springer.com. ROBOT2023 is Organized by: SEIDROB ? Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robótica and SPR ? Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica and will feature a set of special sessions in distinct fields related to robotics. ---------------- CONFERENCE SCOPE ---------------- 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. A non-exhaustive list of topics and activities can be found on the website. --------- KEY DATES --------- Apr 30,    2023    Submission of Special Session proposals May  3,    2023    Notification of Special Session acceptance Jun 30,    2023    Submission of full draft papers Aug 31,    2023    Notification of paper acceptance Sep 30,    2023    Submission of final (camera ready) papers Sep 30,    2023    Early bird registration (reduced fee) Nov 22-24, 2023    Conference -------------------------------------- WORKSHOP AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS -------------------------------------- Researchers interested in organizing workshops and special sessions are invited to follow the instructions on the website.
